What was the DNA sequence of the virus DNA?

The mutation caused by the virus in the human kidney cell was: a. An insertion If this occurred in an exon, it's also a frameshift. > What the virus lytic or lysogenic? Lysogenic. I hope you know what that means. You do, right? What was the DNA sequence of the virus DNA? CCCC That wasn't so hard. I think you need to re-read the chapter and learn the material.

No. They likely won't use the "God is testing us" or "It's work of the devil!" excuses. They're starting to catch on that its foolish, what with all the hysterical laughing we do when they say such ludicrous things. They will likely dismiss it as evidence of God! They'll say retroviral DNA is purposefully put in our genomes. They'll use that analogy to cars; that the parts to two different models may be the same, but it doesn't mean they "evolved" from a common source, only that the two models are "created" by the same car maker. They don't understand that through very specific methods of DNA sequency (like gel electrophoresus) we can see that humans and chimps have these retroviral inserts (technically called transposons) at the SAME place in the sequence. It is highly unlikely that two separate transposons inserted themselves individually into two separate species in the exact same place. ***** Well now they aren't necessarily *completely* useless. Only 15% of anyone's DNA actually codes for a functional polypeptide. A good 40% of our DNA is... well... useless. Or it would seem! We now speculate that these huge gaps of "non-coding DNA" allows more wiggle room for otherwise fatal mutations. If 100% of your DNA is absolutely necessary for you as an organism to exist, then any mutation to your DNA would be an EXTREME RISK to your existence. There is a chance that such retroviral transposons are being selected for (via Natural Selection of course) for this same reason. ****** Dude! Look at these answers! Did I call it or what! YOu see! I know these Fundies all too well.
