Endy0816 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We should go back to circular dna and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koni Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Have you another proposition for a molecule which can store information like the DOUBLE Helix DNA is???... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endy0816 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 There's single stranded DNA viruses out there. Possibly holdovers, though evolution dropping a strand to reduce size is logical as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mqpro Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Ok i just cant help myself. This thread seems to speak of triples helices oit of context from reality. Sure if you dont line up the 3rd set of chromosones to the 1st and 2nd then yes you will end up with a block or a repression. But that is not how we find double or triples helices in nature. Take humans for example xx and xy. On either or xx or xy if these were not copies of each other then they would always block or repress gene funtion. But they are copies execpt for the parts they are not in relation to X and Y. Just some open and closed ended peices of DNA swtiched. Any X chromosone can be turned into a Y and vice versa by replaceing select closed pieces for open on X and vice versa for Y, open to closed. Now the ladder example makes no sense. It does not relate to whats going on at all. The difference between single, double and triple helices is akin to single, double or triple phase electricity. A single, double or triple phase feedback system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The thread is old and doesn't make a lot of sense, but the helix is on the DNA, nit chromosomal level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
