    understanding the shape of DNA allowed us to determine its precise function. The fact that it is a double helix and not just a straight strand isn't of particular importance, but the fact that it has two sides contributes greatly to the understanding of what commands the DNA sends out (in the form of RNA and mRNA) and the function of particular sequences of DNA.

    Additionally, DNA in a prokaryotic cell takes a different overall shape than DNA in a eukaryotic cell. In prokaryotes (organisms that do not contain their DNA in a nucleus), DNA strands are contained in a single closed circle. This allows for high levels of accuracy when replicating the DNA, but limits increases in complexity by mutation.

    In eukaryotes (organisms that contain their DNA in a nucleus), DNA strands are separated into chromosomes. Chromosomes are separate strands of DNA, and are open ended. This leaves a lot of room for error in DNA replication, and particularly in sexual reproduction, which in turn makes for drastic changes in the offspring, on occasion.

    I sometime do discovered things that is related to the bible,like for those practitoners who practise harvesting Qi or energy.For example when Moses saw God it was God's magnificient energy that transfomed his hair into white color and his face was glowing like a lighted bulb and the people had to cover his head with a veil to talk to him.Qi or energy that the practitioner of Qigong practise can be use for healing and perform transformation on plant growth whether they grow straight or twisted.For example Paul was hit by a bright light and was blinded and later healed.The bright light emitted from Jesus is pure energy that is beyond our imagination and it can blind or heal just like Paul case. Practitioner who uses Qi or energy today to heal is less powerful and magnificient as compare to God's Pure magnificient and all powerful energy that is beyond our imagination an understanding.Also when God create man.God say lets create man in our image and the image is pure energy which we now possess and its make up of billion of proton,electron and others particles.Every scientific invention or creation are all related to the bible.Without the bible there is no creation or discoveries.It's just a void and dark formless world which we cannot exist.
