Chapter 777: Mutant Reappearance (3)
The genes of living things are definitely not just the kind of "mutations" that are not directed.
Rather, in some cases, it can evolve through directional changes!
There are two simplest examples!
One is that few people know that the sex genes of chickens can be changed!
When there is only one hen in a flock of chickens, and there is a lack of a rooster, one of the hens can change her sex gene to a rooster's gene in a few years.
Eventually, it will become a rooster completely, and it can even give birth to chicks with other hens, so as to complete the need for reproduction!
Keep the race in full continuity!
This is to adapt to the environment and carry out directed genetic evolution!
And among humans, there is also an example.
That's gene devouring!
Some people, when the mother is pregnant, are twins.
But one of the embryos is able to completely engulf the other embryo.
Finally fused together!
A person who forms a "combinatorial gene".
Some people give birth to children, and the paternity test finds that it is not their own child, but the child of the "child's uncle"!
But that father was an only child, and he had no brothers at all!
After inquiry, I learned that the child's grandmother was pregnant with twins, and an "uncle" was swallowed.
It just so happens that the reproductive part of the "elder brother" is formed.
In the end, the child born by the "elder brother" is the "younger brother" who was swallowed up!
These examples are enough to show that in addition to genetic mutations and environmental screening, organisms have another way of evolving.
It is completely possible to change your genes according to the environment!
Even, devour other genes!
Of course, this is relatively rare.
If you are not an expert in life sciences, you don't need much research.
Ordinary people only need to know about genetic mutations and survival of the fittest.
In his later years, Darwin overturned his theory of evolution and instead embraced "theology."
In fact, what he believes in is not theology, but a doctrine similar to the cultivation of immortals in China and genetic evolution.
It's just that the world can't understand it, so it will be considered "theology" and "metaphysics".
Cultivating immortals and cultivating the Tao is also recognized as metaphysics and superstition, which are all the same truth.
At the end of the day, there are too few people who understand the evolution of immortal genes!
If you don't understand enough, all kinds of misunderstandings will naturally arise.
What Ji Chen is discussing with Ye Zining now is that immortals practice Xuangong and evolve genes.
In Song Chengjun's view, nature is pseudoscience and nonsense.
Ji Chen smiled indifferently.
It doesn't need to be explained.
Song Chengjun is just an ordinary person, and from the perspective of ordinary people, he knows Darwin's theory of evolution, genetic mutation, survival of the fittest, which is enough.
But in fact, in terms of genetics, human beings have long been cultivated in a targeted manner.
Yuan Gong's hybrid rice.
and even the genetically modified technology that is emerging today.
All of them are directed modifications of genes.
Among them, there are mature and immature.
There are those that can be directly used for civilian use without worrying, and there are also those that may be risky and need to be used with caution.
Either way, it's the right thing to do. Even if there are various problems, as long as you continue to study, there will be a solution. In the end, it is still in the interest of the people.
These genetically directed modifications are actually detached from Darwin's theory of genetic mutation and survival of the fittest.
Of course, this is not to deny Darwin's "theory of evolution".
It is a perfect complement to the "theory of evolution".
Just like Newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics.
Newtonian mechanics cannot be said to be wrong, but at the microscopic level, some phenomena are indeed inexplicable.
And with quantum mechanics, problems that cannot be solved by Newtonian mechanics can also be easily solved.
Newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics, ignoring either one, cannot be considered a complete theory of physics.
At this moment, Song Chengjun was yin and yang, sneering at Ji Chen's theory.
Ji Chen didn't care.
He just explained some facts about the genetic evolution of immortal cultivators to Ye Zining.
Why do you need to say more about Song Chengjun?
Even if he said it, he understood, how could he touch this class in this life and this life?
Song Chengjun interjected a few words, but found that Ye Zining didn't pay attention to him at all, just listening to Ji Chen.
His face turned pale.
"Hmph! Zining, she has been brainwashed by this kid! However, what is wrong is wrong after all!"
"Later, when Professor Kong Yuexiang comes over, he will tell you what is the real genetics! What is the real genetic evolution!"
"At that time, Zi Ning naturally knew that what Ji Chen said was just nonsense, and it couldn't withstand any scrutiny at all!"
Song Chengjun sneered in his heart.
Ye Zining didn't care about Song Chengjun at all, she and Ji Chen discussed in a whisper.
After a while, she had a general understanding of the basic rules and principles of the genetic evolution of immortal cultivators.
At this time, the long-awaited Professor Kong Yuexiang has finally arrived!
"Look, Professor Kong is here!"
"Hello Professor Kong!"
"Welcome Professor Kong!"
Everyone in the front row of Wenbo University Classroom first discovered Kong Yuexiang's arrival.
Many people stood up directly and applauded in welcome.
In the end, in the middle and back rows of the classroom, almost all the students stood up and applauded to welcome Kong Yuexiang's arrival.
"What an honor, what an honor!"
"Huh, Dean Zhang, you're here too?"
"Kong is terrified!"
Kong Yuexiang is about forty years old, tall and tall, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looks like a scholar.
He saw a middle-aged man in the front row of the classroom and hurriedly greeted him.
This is a vice dean of the School of Life Sciences of Jiang University, second only to the dean of the School of Life Sciences, the dean of the School of Life Sciences is mainly engaged in scientific research, and the administrative affairs of the School of Life Sciences of Jiang University are actually in charge of this vice president Zhang.
His status in the Academy of Life naturally goes without saying.
"Hehe, Professor Kong is an internationally renowned scholar, and he has returned from Stanford University and chose to join our Jiang University, which is a great honor for us at Jiang University and for our School of Life. Although I have heard of Professor Kong for a long time and admire Professor Kong's knowledge, I naturally want to listen to Professor Kong's open class this time. ”
Dean Zhang smiled and said.
"Dean Zhang, please sit down first!"
"If there is anything wrong later, please correct Dean Zhang!"
Kong Yuexiang said.
"By the way, these are the two assistants I brought back from North America this time. ”
"Mr. Kaszel and Ms. Merlin. ”
"In North America, they all have PhDs in genetics. ”
Kong Yuexiang also introduced a man and a woman beside him, two European and American people.
Both were in their thirties, and their faces were arrogant.
"Hehe, Professor Kong's two assistants are also young and promising!"
Vice President Zhang said with a smile.
While they greeted each other, no one noticed that on the third row, a person's eyes flashed, passing over Kaszel and Merlin.
"All North American mutants?"
"The tentacles of the North American Mutant Federation have reached the ...... of Huaxia in the end"
