Genome BOW 6: Life

Life is consisted of the ability to replicate and to create order. The ability to replicate is made possible by the existence of a recipe which is the information that is needed to create a new body. Genes contains DNA that is a message written in a code of chemicals, giving one letter for each letter. It only has four letters; A, C, G, and T which represents information, replication, breeding, and sex. RNA is a chemical substance that links RNA and proteins, it is used mainly to translate messages from the alphabet of DNA to the alphabet of proteins. It is hard to identify the earliest form of life because creatures today have genes except from their parents, but that could not have been fully true. For example, bacteria can get genes from other bacteria by eating it. Lastly it is believed that there was only one creation and one single event when life was born.
