Chapter 182 Unlimited Enhancement Failed
Genes, also known as genetic factors.

The birth, aging, sickness, and death of all carbon-based organisms, and all life phenomena are related to genes.

Although human scientists have never stopped exploring genes, so far, human understanding of genes is still incomplete.

What Li Yu can know from books is limited to "a gene is the entire nucleotide sequence required to produce a polypeptide chain or functional RNA."

Genes support the basic structure and performance of life, and store all the information of life's race, blood type, pregnancy, growth, apoptosis and other processes.

The interdependence of environment and heredity plays an important role in the reproduction of life, cell division and protein synthesis and other important physiological processes.

It is also an internal factor that determines the health of life.Therefore, genes have dual properties: material and informative.

The secret of the chimeric ants displayed in front of Shen Yiran at this moment is a spiral genetic code.

Li Yu tried to read the hidden information from this gene.

There was once a scientist who systematically studied genes called Gregor Mendel.

Before Gregor Mendel, heredity was thought to be a mixed process.

It wasn't until Mendel demonstrated the existence of an indivisible and independent unit of heredity, which was later shown to be a gene—a sequence of DNA—on a chromosome.

Mendel revealed the genetic process of reproduction at the genetic level, although he did not know the true form of genes at the time.

And it is worth noting that genes and DNA are completely different concepts.

How chimeric ants can fuse inorganic matter, all the answers are also all in their genes.

In the past world, with the development of molecular genetics, especially after Watson and Crick proposed the DNA double helix structure, people further understood the essence of genes, that is, genes are DNA fragments with genetic effects.

The research results also show that each chromosome contains only one DNA molecule, each DNA molecule has multiple genes, and each gene contains hundreds or thousands of deoxynucleotides.Since the discovery of RNA viruses, the existence of genes not only exists on DNA, but also on RNA.

Because the sequence of deoxyribonucleotides in different genes is different, different genes contain different genetic information.

Based on the concepts and principles of systems genetics, it explores the genetic logic and language of cats as cats and tigers as tigers, and puts forward research on the relationship between genes and the logical structure of the genome and the occurrence of programmed expression.

The more Li Yu thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't find a clue, and only felt a headache.

The knowledge that a person can absorb is limited, even if Li Yu is the son of heaven.

"So how do I apply this power to myself?"

Facing the genetic code of chimeric ants, Shen Yiran is like a hungry person facing a can that cannot be unscrewed, feeling quite helpless.

After withdrawing from the world of wordless books, Shen Yiran spent another whole day looking up information on the Internet, but found nothing.

"Why didn't I study bioengineering in university?" Shen Yiran lamented.

He has obviously forgotten that his current body is not his original body.As for his original body, his biological grades from childhood to adulthood were pretty good.

In the end, the questions brought out from the wordless book have to be found in the wordless book.

Shen Yiran put his consciousness into the world of the book again, but he didn't want that after all this time, the scene of the world in the book had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The chimeric ant colony, which was originally not ranked among the many ant tribes in terms of strength, has actually annihilated all other ants on the continent and established a huge ant empire.

Shen Yiran saw that these chimeric ants were constantly purifying the source of life by prostrating to the statue of the "Lord of Life".

Their shapes also began to change.

Each individual chimeric ant can now grow to the size of a human pinky finger, and a few individuals have even begun to walk upright.

Shen Yiran looked over the thriving ant colony, and finally saw the ant queen he had seen many years ago again.

The queen named Yeshia stripped off the reproductive organs of ants from her body and made them operate independently, like an assembly line machine, constantly delivering offspring to the ant empire.

And she escaped from the position of the reproductive machine, and has since become the chimeric ant queen who is in charge of the empire.

From the appearance alone, the chimeric ant queen has completely lost the ant-like appearance of the past, but has gradually grown into a human form, becoming more and more similar to the god she worships.

"How did she do it?" Shen Yiran was a little surprised.

You must know that the ancient apes have experienced tens of millions of years of evolution, and finally there are now humans who walk upright.

And this ant queen has only spent decades in the book world, and she has a human form.

"Cultivation is not so fast, is it?" With doubts, Shen Yiran focused his consciousness on the ant queen Yeshia.

The current ant queen Yeshia, the source of life all over her body is clear and thorough, without a single trace of impurities.

Praying to the god statue has no practical significance for this ant queen, but more like a living habit she has developed for a long time.

After the routine prayer was over, Shen Yiran saw the Queen Ant kneeling in front of the statue, motionless, her outwardly released mental power turned hot and restrained, digging towards the inside of her own body.

Shen Yiran immediately covered the spiritual power network, and followed the queen's spiritual power away.

Shells, muscles, blood vessels... In the world of consciousness, the body of the queen ant becomes a piece of continuously enlarged parts... The threads of mental power shuttle through the gaps in the cells, moving forward all the way.

Shen Yiran felt that he finally saw a river.

A bizarre river composed of spiral gene chains rotated before his eyes, constantly disappearing and breaking, and then constantly rebuilding.

So it goes round and round, and then flows into the distance.

Shen Yiran "saw" the queen ant walking on her genetic chain.

Constantly remove unnecessary parts from the genes, and then reconnect the gene chains.

The queen ant accomplishes this through the spiritual force that goes deep into her body, and her movements are extremely natural, as if she knew what to do when she was born.

All this amazed Shen Yiran.

He suddenly thought of a classic line in the movie "Jurassic Park".

"Life will find its own way out." Shen Yiran said in a deep voice.

Then, he disconnected the spiritual connection with the ant queen Ye Yaxi, and his consciousness also exited the world in the book and returned to reality.

"If the queen ant can change her genes at will through this method, then I should be able to too." Shen Yiran murmured.

Genes have two characteristics. One is that they can faithfully replicate themselves to maintain the basic characteristics of organisms.

The second is that in reproduction, genes can "mutate" and mutate. When fertilized eggs or mothers are affected by the environment or heredity, harmful defects or mutations will occur in the genome of the offspring.

Most of them produce diseases, and some of them will be inherited under specific circumstances.Also called genetic disease.

Under normal conditions, life varies on a genetic basis, and these variations are normal variations.

The behavior of the queen ant is undoubtedly artificially manipulating this normal variation.

This has obviously broken away from the category of natural creatures, and has begun to move towards the direction of mythical creatures.

Changing genes can change fate to some extent, which is definitely the realm of myths or legends for natural creatures.

Li Yu knew very well that the genes in her body were like stubborn bricks that could not be easily moved.If he had to change, it would very likely lead to the collapse of the genes in his whole body.

Because the position of a gene on a chromosome is called a locus, and each gene has its own specific locus.Different forms of genes occupying the same locus on homologous chromosomes are called alleles.

In natural populations there is often one allele in the majority, known as the wild-type gene.

Other alleles at the same locus are generally directly or indirectly produced by mutation of the wild-type gene. Compared with the wild-type gene, they are called mutant genes.In a diploid cell or individual there are two homologous chromosomes, so there are two alleles at each locus.

If the two alleles are identical, then the cell or individual is said to be homozygous for that locus.

If the two alleles are different, it is called a heterozygote.

In heterozygotes, two different alleles often only show the traits of one gene, which is called a dominant gene, and the other gene is called a recessive gene.

In a diploid biological population, there are often more than two alleles, and more than two alleles are called multiple alleles.

However, some genes that were considered to belong to multiple alleles in the early stage are actually not real alleles, but several genes that are closely related in function and adjacent in position, so they are also called pseudo-alleles Gene.

"Could it be the pseudo-allele used?" Li Yu said to himself.

In fact, the presence of multiple alleles with little difference in phenotypic effects is easily overlooked, and several alleles present in wild populations can be distinguished by special genetic analysis.

Such multiple alleles that are indistinguishable from traits are called isoalleles.Many genes encoding isozymes are also isozymes.

Regarding the mystery of genes, Li Yu always felt that it was useless to think hard, and maybe he could find the answer from the ant queen.

And the Ant Queen did give him the answer, asking him to use his mental power to rewrite the genetic program.

Once successful, Li Yu will be omnipotent and even become a mythical perfect creature.

"Change my own genes and implant a part of the gene fragment of the chimeric ant, and I can take out the glass in my brain."

The hope of living suddenly became clear, and Shen Yiran immediately became full of energy.

For the next few days, he imitated the movements of the queen ant, constantly trying to shrink his mental power into bundles, and then explore the secrets in his body.

After repeated failures, he finally succeeded once.

The mental power penetrated the epidermis, penetrated through the muscles and bones, Shen Yiran saw his beating heart, and three pieces of blood-stained broken glass in his brain.

However, before he was happy for a long time, great exhaustion attacked him.

Unprepared, Shen Yiran only felt his eyes go dark, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, nearly 12 hours had passed.

It is rare for Shen Yiran to sleep for such a long time, and this time there is only one reason for him to sleep for so long, that is, his body is too tired.

After decades of purification, the ant queen Yeshia's body has reached a state of cleanliness and innocence. Only in this way can it support the excavation of itself by spiritual power, and even modify its genes without using it. Worried about sudden death.

Shen Yiran thought for a while and estimated that his current body was still far from a pure and innocent state.

"Do you want me to meditate for more than ten years first? Purify the source of life?" Shen Yiran shook his head.

"Perhaps, it's a problem with the genes themselves." Li Yu said to himself.

The action time of each gene in an organism is often different, and some genes are transcribed before replication, called early genes.

There is a subset of genes that are transcribed after duplication, known as late genes.

A gene mutation that changes several apparently unrelated traits at the same time is called a pleiotropic gene.

Changing these stubborn genes is not an easy task.

Then, he thought of the ball of light in his mind.

The source of life collected from the world in the book is stored in that light group. These sources of life are pure and clean. If you no longer get entangled in genes, but directly absorb the source of life to strengthen yourself, will it be possible? Can it work?

Although the wordless book has been subtly strengthening his body, it is a passive effect after all, and the effect is very slow.

"Let me try a little bit first?" Shen Yiran imagined this, and slowly extracted about 10 scales of life source quality from the light cluster, and then slowly injected it into his body.

"No response?" Shen Yiran waited for a moment and asked doubtfully.

The source of life on the scale of 10 is almost the level of the current ant queen Yeshia.

After these life sources entered Shen Yiran's body, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, without causing any waves.

"Then try some more?" Shen Yiran gritted his teeth.

For the second time, he extracted 100 scales of life source quality and slowly merged it into his body.

The moment the fusion was completed, Shen Yiran felt as if something had hit his chest hard, making him breathless for an instant.

"How...how could this be..."

Shen Yiran was so uncomfortable that he grabbed his collar and tried his best not to faint.

"Tick."

A drop of black, foul liquid fell to the ground.

Where did it come from?
Shen Yiran was puzzled, looked up and saw his own appearance in a mirror in the distance.

The black dirty liquid was slowly oozing out from his face, neck, arms...

The genes of this body couldn't bear the infusion of the source of life, and began to gradually collapse.

Sure enough, is it still insufficient?

Li Yu gritted her teeth, thinking unwillingly.
