Nope..DNA only gives you a starting point..about your personality, some of them is determined by your own action and the environment. So, if something bad happen to your personality and behaviour, don’t always blame your DNA… 😆 (I’m such a pro-DNA person don’t I??)

Yes, you can change it…by mispairing the bases, it already given you a mutant DNA…you wanna know the way?? just use a nucleic acid transfection ‘gun’. For more information, ask my friend named Genetic Engineering.. 😉

Of course you can…but the problem is, the HGP (Human Genome Project) have discovered that about 25000 till 40000 genes which are in charge to code proteins…how about something else beside protein?? be a molecular biologist bass_lasso and if you’re patient enough, you’ll find it.. 😉

science begins from people’s dream….who knows that your dream could be come true…beside, what is the definition of the word ‘perfect’ according to you? 😀

Too lazy to read.. I’m sure victor answered the questions fine

I am not lazy, I just rely everything to Victor this time 😆

That’s the same…relying something to someone while she/he herself/himself is sitting and drinking coffee… 😆
GO..GO..DNA!!!

haha..one more people from my "beloved" country..I am a first semester student in Biology-UGM-Yogikarta. I’m still 17 years old..

Hm, lets talk like this…personality comes from something created by our brain and we can assume that brain is an association of neurons which are (in the very beginning) determined by your gene (in this stage you’re right).
But the carried personality ends till that stage (unless you keep developing it or high level mutations occur on you), the rest is you determine it by yourself and indirectly the environment surround you also take part in forming such personality..

Oh, that’s a just like a conventional shotgun (of course small in size) used to injecting nucleic acid (usually desired gene) into the host cell

Where I live? I live inside Petri dishes in microbiology lab at biology faculty.. 😆

victor.. dat’s ehm….. 😆

i think bass has got some point when he/she said that the gene could have more influenced on some of the mental associated traits (or ‘personality’).. Example: schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
If i remember correctly, in my lecture notes, it was something to do with the twin studies..

That’s why I wrote "unless……"
Um I think I have to use passive personality and active personality then…

Um, I think for this cit-chat..I’ll answer it in PM because it’s offtopic here..

Just a line to end this chit-chat..
I live in one of ninety-six wells of ELISA plate 😆

Personality is developing with very fast rate initially and then this rate reduces with a large amount but it is never zero, i think. So, even if all the genes to express have been expressed personality changes occur , so our environment and our brain [ thoughts , beliefs, commitment, intensity & duration of thoughts] togather lead to our personality then.This means our inheritance makes us able to change our personality upto certain limit.

@Dr. & Victor’
especially for Dr. – just caring for ur safety… 😛

Shrei

don’t worry boss, both of us live good in here..:lol:

Ah ya, I fell out of the well when they hit the plate too hard to dispose the tween 😳 😆

I deleted 3 religious posts. Please read our rules, we are a science based forum

Hehe y 😆 ou deleted last post of mine. its contenst were -‘Thank God!’ it was reply to the Vic. and Dr.’s posts. It wasn’t religious … not that imp. though… 😆

Shrei

I am save because I always write "TG" and "OMG" and ‘the system’ skips it from religious post sweeping 😆

Well, I can make a hypothesis for this forum: "offtopic post is better then religious post" 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

HEy!

Do you think our destiny is preefined?

I don’t think so.

DNA do not deserve to do that.

But its true that DNA has total info & planning about
structural and behavioural changes of Organism.

NOT DESTINY AT AAAAAALLLLLLLLL!

then who said that DNA is our destiny? I said like this:
Like chemistry, DNA only initiate our starting point then, for the rest, we are the one who determine the chain reaction and the termination reaction.

Like genetic, DNA only give Initiation. Then, we determine the elongation and the termination process…:lol:

Whatever lah… 😆

how about those that were born with genetic defects, mild or serious defects? I guess their "ability to determine the elongation and the termination" were limited or worse still none….

so what can be concluded? is it in the DNA?

At least they’re still living things…and what factors that can make things called living one?? moving is one of the factor isn’t it??
just think until the very small thing of living things…that’s what I call "elongation" on my previous post..:lol:
