Zhe Axelrific Family!! (Zhe One Zhe Only) 2!

......if you read it I shall be surprised. it's about combining a silkworm and a spider

Spider/silkworm



To create this breed of animal you would have to create the recombinant DNA by attaching DNA from the spider and silkworm together. After you have created the recombinant DNA you would have to take it and insert it into the new animal’s cell. Then this external DNA would become part of the cells DNA. Since this new creature would contain genes from both the spider and silkworm it would be transgenic organism. Which just means it contains genes from other organisms.



But before you do any of this you must be able to extract the DNA from both of the animals. Now although this might seem difficult it is actually a simple procedure. All you have to do is open the cell of the silkworm and spider and separate the DNA from the rest of the cell parts. But since most DNA molecules from organisms are to large to be analyzed they are cut into small precise fragments. How they do that is by using restriction enzymes. The restriction enzymes are used to cut the DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotide. These restriction enzymes are incredibly precise and will only cut a DNA sequence if it matches precisely. So after the DNA is injected into the egg cell and hopefully the DNA’s alleles shall be used in the new animal when the cell fully grows into a new being.


The reason why I would mix these two animals together is because this new mix would help to make more silk. Why that can’t happen now is because the silk worm cannot fly in the beginning of it’s growth so it usually dies quickly with no way to find food and other things to survive. Also when it is in the moth form it will not eat at all and dies within the week. So if it were to be combined with the spider it might create a new animal that could survive out of captivity but still create silk. So this new species would become very populated and a lot more silk could be created.




Although this may be a brilliant idea there are a few flaws such that when you cross breed two animals such as this sometimes you don’t get the traits that you want. For example the spider creates a web as well so it might get that trait instead. It might even get a mix between the silk from the silkworm and the web material from the spider. Although the mix between these two might be a good thing. That is the thing about genetics; you never know exactly what traits shall be adopted.


Although this animal should be able to populate itself better then the silkworm it still can only populate in areas containing mulberry trees. The reason why is because the silkworm only eats mulberry leaves but the mix might be able to eat a larger variety of foods. Although if it grows too much , it might wipe out mulberry trees by eating them all. Another thing that is good about them though is since there shall be a lot of them the price of silk would go down and everyone could afford it. Can you imagine all of this could be possible just by combining two animals DNA. So tell me

 

XP. Good luck with that.

 

Woah. I never thought of mixxing those two ... O_O

Your writting sounds a little... scripted... but othter then that. Good job!

 

as long as it's done it's fine with me...

 

Too...many...words.....*passes out*

Jk. it's good though.

 

What grade are you in??

*echo* everyone ignores me D=

 

Oi. Anyone here?

O.O -Tumbleweed rolls by-

 

O-M-G someone posted today O_O *looks at time* of course after I leave.

 

hey guys..sorry i never got on today i just never got around to coming here....lol
XD

 

i was here on and off, i just didnt feel like posting anything, there was nobody here....it seemed somewhat superfluous....

but yesterday, we all got new schedules for the second semester....most of all of our classes are the same, but theres always one or two changes......

my new schedule

1) robotics *new*.....my favorite class.....rachels in it :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
2)computer science
3) science fiction *new*.....yes its a class.....and yes, it is about sci fi stuff
4) gym/physics
5) physics
6) free....every other day, me and rachel have lunch together :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
7) lunch
8) pre-calc
9) economics & government

p.s. does anyone recognize anyone in here, i think its bleach meets death note....and i could be wrong sbout this, bit i think thats logan from samurai champloo at the way bottom....

 

LOLZ!! Yep!! If only it was bigger though... But that is bleach and death note. XP

 

Anybody here?

 

MEMO TO DAN!
on monday
you gotta wear knee high socks
=]
edit:me..lol

 

Wow. You guys finnaly remembered. XD

Hey guardian!! *waves*

 

actually i told my friend about it
and she reminded me today...
lol XD

 

Wwwooooooowwwww XD *I laugh at you*

 

Why?????????

Hey Larxel
*waves back*

 

Inside joke. XD

 

Ok...........
