What if the scarecrow had a brain?
Don't expect your lobotomy to grow back, wonder boy.
Archie, your universe is one big black hole.
It took you five years to discover what is in every high school biology
book?
If you were on an advanced enough reading level to read gardening books, you
would have known that Honey Locust will sprout from adventitious root
suckers, Sucker.

As to whether organs can or cannot be sectionalized with ACTG coding,
my
guess would be a yes, because highly specialized organs such as the
eyeball
would seem to me to need a high degree of sectionalization of the ACTG
letter coding. Perhaps sectionalization is never 100% for organs but
rather
can come close to it in the 90s percent range.
Certain genes will be "turned on" in certain tissues. Look up
tissue-specific promoters.
I willing to experiment with cutting 1/3 off the top of a blue spruce
and it having a good chance of survival.
But I know that as you cut more and more of a tree, some point is reached
wherein the death of the tree results, such as cedar. But some trees can
be cut
level to the ground and they emit new trees from their roots such as
locust.
So I wonder what genes in tree species tells the tree when it is dead and
why
such a variance in percent of cutoff. Cut the entire Locust trunck and it
is
still
alive with new trees sprouting from its roots. Cut more than 1/2 of most
trees
and they are likely to die.
While I am on this percentage, a cool question comes to mind. A question
not
at all obvious. In animals we have organization of cells into tissue and
organ.
But do we have the same sort of organizations in plants? Do plants have
organs?
In the past 5 years I have been exploring the Inverses or Reverses of
plants to
animals. Example: plants breathe in CO2 and expel O2 whereas animals do
the
reverse. Another Example: animals depend on plants for food and the
reverse is
true that plants depend on animals for food via fertilizer and decay
bodies.
Another example: plants depend on carbon element for their support
structure
and animals depend on calcium for their support structure where we can
sort
of say that carbon is the inverse or reverse of calcium.
Now I wonder if another one of the inverse or reverse situations exists in
plant
to animal cell organizations. Whether animals must have cells arrayed into
organs but plants do not and whether plants have a cell arrangement that
is
altogether very different from that of animals and can be considered a
inverse
or reverse.
