You're assuming that all possibilities are equal, as in with a coin. To make that assumption, you're going to have to also assume the environment that these reactions occur in. They are not going to be anywhere near equal in an organism, and they won't be equal in the presence of a catalyst. So what conditions are you basing your "math" on? |
The environment is irrelevant. A coin has a 50/50 chance of coming up heads or tails no matter if you are in the Sahara Desert, a condo in Branson, MO, the peak of Mt. Everest or on Mars.
It's the same with the amino acids I calculated forming a polypeptide.
But, I think I know where you are wanting to go and I would encourage you to expand your mind on this and take the discussion further.
Would natural selection have any effect on the outcome of probability mathematics? How about concerning beneficial and detrimental mutations.
More precisely....could natural selection begin to weed out some heads in the coin toss and possibly even insert tails or bass ackards?
What do you think? |
hey i have a question, could critical theory be of any use to these amino acids? what about non-normative philosophical orientations? do you think that seven could be involved?
