    The DNA in just one of your cells gets damaged tens of thousands of times per day. Because DNA provides the blueprint for the proteins your cells need to function, this damage can cause serious issues-including cancer. Fortunately, your cells have ways of fixing most of these problems, most of the time. Monica Menesini details the processes of DNA damage and repair.
    Lesson by Monica Menesini, animation by FOX Animation Domination High-Def.

Don't let your body be told how to repair itself by an external flued! This damages the natural repair process! Stop believing all the deception!

    Hi John, your videos constantly inspire me to think and discover and learn. Today I was inspired to learn about my own state's state insect: coccinella novemnotata or the nine-spotted lady bug. This bug is in fact native to NYS; more broadly it is native to the US and to southern Canada. The lady bug is extremely rare, in fact the last known spotting of this insect in NYS was in 2013 on a farm in Long Island. There was a proposed bill to replace the state's insect in 2006 but it was not passed. I, for one, hope this bill is not passed and I hope somehow, someday this ladybug will find its way back into New York State.

      Majority of mutations are silent mutations. It's 'difficult' to get the right mutation to lead to a malignant tumor. That once cell would also have a lot of battles agains the rest of our body's immune system. He will first have to reign supremacy against our immune system before battling US. which I think is quite difficult to do.
      But, if your genetic family has a history of cancers it will make it easier for them because it'll indicate somewhere in your genome is a coding for something that is less than 'fit'. And even then it's still difficult.

      Don't take a mRNA jab! Its not a vaccine. Its a experimental gene therapy. Know your rights in this case! Check the Nuremberg codes that ensure your legal rights to refuse to partake in this experimental jab. Science cases have showed that mRNA has killed animals during tests after a while. At first they looked completely healthy. After a while they got sick. Their immune systems responded dramatically. Proteins were made that also attacked healthy parts of the body. This caused massive flue deadly flue symptoms that were otherwise harmless. These were long term effects!
      Don't let your body be told how to repair itself by an external flued! This damages the natural repair process! Stop believing all the deception! Its your body and only you will suffer the consequences! Its a trick and you allow yourself to be fooled by the media, government and pharmaceutical industry :(

    I sometimes just can't figure out how these small things in cell, are so specialised in doing something and making decisions to things sometimes they even aren't "trained" yet. Do they have some sort of "brains"? Or are they just some predetermined sets of procedures ready to be followed? If so, how do they know what procedure to follow next? Maybe, due to some chemical reactions that drive these sets of procedures further. But who in the first place put those steps? Evolution? DNA? How do these things know what's best to adapt to environment and live while still being an "insignificant" stuff that can't even think? Isn't this amazing? But I think of it more as a mystery yet to be unfolded...

      +Muhammad Yahia Tarabishy That depends on the type of error. Different systems (aka proteins equipped to handle the situation) have evolved, to react to each source of damage. Basically, most errors that can occur disrupt the DNAs helix structure and the repair systems can identify these flaws.

      @manuelreisinger8321 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Because viral DNA doesn't look different from ours. Its the same building blocks, so there is no change in the helix structure that the DNA repair systems could recognize. Its not their job, that's what the immune system is for =P
