T6
[Peak:] Lir asked for T6. I would like to propose that we think a little bit outside the box again, and view the PREAMBLE as a whole. Thus Proposal T6 is that the PREAMBLE consist of the following two paragraphs. The first is based on T4 since (at least so far as I can tell) no substantial objections have been directed specifically towards it. In revising it, however, I have tried to take into account many of the concerns that have been expressed, including Lir's concern about including many wikilinks (and specifically "nucleic acid"), as well as the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. Here then in T6:
- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that carries the genetic instructions for making all living organisms on Earth. Parents transmit copied portions of their DNA to offspring during reproduction. This transmission is the primary mechanism of biological inheritance.
- In bacteria and other simple-cell organisms, DNA is distributed more or less throughout the cell. In the complex cells that make up plants, animals and other multi-celled organisms, most of the DNA is found in the chromosomes, which are located within the cell nucleus. The energy generating organelles known as chloroplasts and mitochondria also carry DNA, as do many viruses.
T6.2
Wikipedia has been slow, my edits have been getting trounced, and the snow needs shovelling, so here's the best I can come up with - combinations of T6, T6.1 and T7.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that carries the genetic instructions necessary for the biological development of all known organisms. Parents transmit copied portions of their DNA to offspring during reproduction. This transmission is the primary mechanism of biological inheritance.
In bacteria and other prokaryotes, DNA is distributed more or less throughout the cell. In the complex cells that make up plants, animals and other multi-celled organisms, most of the DNA is found in the chromosomes, which are located within the cell nucleus. The energy generating organelles known as chloroplasts and mitochondria also carry DNA, as do many viruses.
