Chapter 667, Gene Map
Send a chapter first, and then go to sleep...................
-----------------
The growth of this aquarium monster is like this. Every time it molts, its size will increase a lot and become bigger and bigger.
Just look at the blue crab demon king, the three-star elite, more than 30 meters in size, if it breaks through to the three-star horror, its size will grow to forty or fifty meters.
As the first crab demon completed its transformation, the crab monsters hiding in the big cave also completed their transformation and crawled out one after another.
At the moment when the molt has just been completed, their bodies are still a little delicate, and they will be careful not to collide with their own kind when walking.
Well, if it is a fish demon, I am afraid that when they moult, the degree of danger will be high, maybe as soon as they moult, some of the same kind will pounce on them.
In this way, Wei Xiaobei also understands why the overall creature level of the belt fish monster is much weaker than that of the crab monster and shellfish monster.
In any case, the crab demon molt was complete, and Wei Xiaobei didn't keep them any longer, letting them carry out the previous arrangements.
As the crab demons dragged the fish demons away, Wei Xiaobei turned and entered the coral reef, and the two fire dragons followed silently.
The center of the coral reef area is also the place where Wei Xiaobei's arrows mainly hit. Broken coral reefs are everywhere, mixed with the corpses of fish monsters.
Wei Xiaobei chose a slightly flat place to stand, and a series of basic biological templates immediately appeared in his mind.
These basic biological templates are different and have their own characteristics.
Weak pig, high temperature bird, digging pig, common man, hidden wolf, fire giant, fire dragon, shrimp mother.
There are eight kinds in total.
And only the mother shrimp is the most suitable for sea areas.
Although the fire dragon man has amazing fighting power, he is not very suitable for the sea area.
As attention falls on the mother shrimp template. The rest of the biological templates all dissipated.
Genes manifest.
With a thought in Wei Xiaobei's mind, rows of twisted and connected spirals appeared immediately under the biological template of the mother shrimp.
This series of densely packed spirochetes is the gene that makes up the shrimp mother, which is the so-called DNA fragment that carries genetic information.
Basically the basic structure and performance of all living things. Reproduction and so on are all determined by genes.
Of course, Wei Xiaobei doesn't know much about monsters like the mutated farmer's market, maybe the opponent's genetic form is different from other monsters.
In reality, it constitutes the simplest living body. Even viruses and bacteria need at least 265 to 350 genes.
For example, the famous Bibacterium pneumoniae, which makes countless patients change color when smelling it, has 1,700 genes.
Humans have between 27,000 genes.
There are 29,000 house mice.
Rice has as many as 55,000 genes.
Wei Xiaobei was a little surprised when he saw this data at the beginning. No matter how you look at it, the biological level of this rice is much lower than that of human beings, but the number of genes is more than twice that of human beings!
But after careful study, Wei Xiaobei discovered that he was a primate. Human beings belong to a very high level of biological complexity, and at the same time, their genetic makeup is also quite different from other organisms.
In this way, humans have formed more protein types with a smaller number of genes, and ultimately made their own biological complexity higher.
In the past, Wei Xiaobei would never have checked the genetic composition of the basic biological template.
No way, I couldn't understand it at all before, from the lowest-level base pairs, to the intermediate-level protein-coding genes, and then to the high-level forms of chromosomes. Wei Xiaobei only knew that human beings have a total of 24 chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes, XY for men and XX for women.
All right. This is what Wei Xiaobei knew before.
But now, Wei Xiaobei can easily identify the effects of some protein-coding genes.
In order to solidify the knowledge of biological genes, Qianwei Xiaobei specially read some research materials related to shrimp genes.
Wei Xiaobei identified the gene sequence of the mother shrimp for a while, and was surprised to find that most of the genes of the mother shrimp were the same as those of real shrimp.
Afterwards, Wei Xiaobei pulled out the gene sequence of the long-bearded shrimp demon and checked it.
simply put. The gene sequence similarity between this long-bearded shrimp demon and the shrimp in reality is between 99.99% and 99.97%.
Well, to put it simply, the similar parts of the gene sequence determine the structure of the shrimp's carapace, muscles, etc.
In other words, the long-bearded shrimp demon is very close to the real shrimp.
The difference between the genes is that there have been some changes in form.
The normal gene is a helix, a perfect helix, but this different gene has some glitches on it.
Wei Xiaobei immediately fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Wei Xiaobei then pulled out the gene sequences of crab monsters, real crabs, shellfish monsters, and real shellfish, brought them to mind, and compared them repeatedly.
In other words, if the biological expert Zhang Desheng knew about such a method, he would probably grab Wei Xiaobei by the collar and let him teach him such a method!
It's too perverted.
We must know that in reality, if the gene sequence map of any kind of organism is to be drawn, the amount of work required is unimaginable for ordinary people.
The time consumed by base-by-base testing, elucidation, is calculated in months.
Taking the human genetic map as an example, it takes two months to determine the genetic map of a human being with the latest sequencing methods and a supercomputer.
This is already a very advanced method. The previous sequencing method required three years to determine the genetic map of a human being.
In Wei Xiaobei's case, as long as he ingests the opponent's genes, all the ingested genes can be displayed in a three-dimensional model.
Its conversion time is in an instant!
Of course, this kind of method, that is, Wei Xiaobei can use it himself, it is impossible to promote it.
Unless there is an altar of life in hand.
After repeated comparisons for a long time, Wei Xiaobei finally determined the partial effects of those different genes.
Some of the genomes are for the generation of demonic aura, that is to say, as long as these genes are added to the basic biological template, it is possible to make the cultivated creature produce demonic aura.
Another part of the genome can increase the size of the organism.
Well, there is also a part of the genome, no matter how Wei Xiaobei compares it, he can't determine its effect.
Of course, even if the above genomes are added to the basic biological template, it may not be able to increase the size of the cultivated creature or produce a monster.
In fact, the relationship between genes is intricate. For example, some genes determine the skin of an organism to appear red, while some genes may inhibit the effect of this gene, so that the skin does not appear red, and some genes may cause the skin to appear red. It is to suppress the previous two genes, making the skin appear white and so on.
At least, Wei Xiaobei has not been able to find out the gene that suppresses the generation of evil spirit or the gene that restricts the size of organisms.
But being able to determine the effect of these two parts of the gene already made Wei Xiaobei very satisfied.
Afterwards, Wei Xiaobei compared the genes of the mother shrimp with other creatures.
However, this comparison process is relatively time-consuming.
This shrimp mother was originally composed of the genes of several organisms, and its complexity is much more complicated than that of human beings.
To put it simply, human beings have 27,000 genes, while this shrimp mother has only 6,900 genes, but the splicing and combination of their genes can actually produce effects that exceed human genes.
Because of this, even Wei Xiaobei felt dizzy watching it.
By the time Wei Xiaobei understood something, at least three days had passed!
In the previous state of full concentration, it was impossible for Wei Xiaobei to feel the passage of time. The reason why he knew that three days had passed was because his hunger told him, at least three days.
Taking out the food from the storage bracelet, after devouring it for a while, Wei Xiaobei let out a long breath.
Of course, the taste of eating in this sea water is not very good, but no matter what, the stomach is full.
After that, Wei Xiaobei compared all the biological genes ingested by the life altar.
Of course, it took a lot of time here.
But this kind of time-consuming is worth it. This kind of comparison allows Wei Xiaobei to have a better understanding of biological genes.
But the genes of the creatures in the gray world are always somewhat different from those in reality. Wei Xiaobei feels that if he understands the hidden things here, it may be of great benefit.
Of course, as far as it is concerned, it is still too early to say this.
After resting his rapidly spinning brain for a while, Wei Xiaobei began to adjust the gene sequence of the mother shrimp.
This adjustment is mainly aimed at the weakness of the demon shrimp.
When facing an enemy with poor defense ability, the demon-eating shrimp can use its numerical advantage with maximum efficiency to tear the enemy into pieces, but when facing an enemy with strong defense like shellfish, the demon-eating shrimp It is reduced to meat on the cutting board.
However, considering the size of the demon-eating shrimp, even if the hardness of its big claws is strengthened and then strengthened, it is difficult to greatly improve the ability to attack tough problems.
But if the size of the demon-eating shrimp is increased, then the advantage of the number of demon-eating shrimp will be lost.
Obviously, if the size of the demon-eating shrimp is increased to more than one meter, then the food it needs to grow is enough to make ten demon-eating shrimp less than 30 centimeters grow!
After all, the latter needs less food, and the smaller size is easier to form a quantitative advantage, and the growth rate is faster.
If, instead of increasing the size of the monster-eating shrimp, it needs to be reduced, then it is necessary for the monster-eating shrimp to have a more special attacking method!
Ignition of the Chibi?
Wei Xiaobei shook his head, this was too whimsical.
The igniting ability of the red carp is a special ability of three-star ordinary creatures. Even if the gene of the red carp is added to the mother shrimp, the demon-eating shrimp may not be able to show this ability. (To be continued.)
