Once the principle is there, that cells have the same genes, my own personal belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every cell in your body contains the same genetic information.
One of the central mysteries of biology is why the genome is largely identical from cell to cell, even though cells do different things.
We finally understand in general terms how a cell is organized, how its specialized organs function in a well integrated manner to insure its survival and replication.
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
We know specific genes are turned on in specific cells, but we don't know to what extent this happens.
We know that our cells are speaking to each other.
Biology is far from understanding exactly how a single cell develops into a baby, but research suggests that human development can ultimately be explained in terms of biochemistry and molecular biology. Most scientists would make a similar statement about evolution.
The knowledge we have of communication among cells does not permit my giving you a sophisticated understanding.
We found out that, contrary to what many people thought, in the immune system, genes can change during the life cycle of the individual.
Cells will die in minutes to days if they lack their genetic information system. They will not evolve, they will not replicate, and they will not live.
