So having high blood sugar doesnât mean that you ate a lot of table sugar and the sugar is now in your bloodstream; it means you ate a lot of carbohydrates (from any source) and the sugar (glucose) is now in your bloodstream. Any digestible carbohydrate can raise blood sugar, although some raise it higher and faster than others.
If a mutation alters junk DNA, it doesnât do any harm because the junk isnât doing us any good to begin with. If our genome was 80 percent functionalâthe figure batted around when the ENCODE project results first came outâthen we should be extinct.
thymine has a methyl group which is not found in uracil. Having a methyl group means it is more stable. That is why thymine is more stable that uracil. DNA is more stable than RNA because DNA has deoxyribose sugar and RNA has ribose sugar. So DNA has thymine base and RNA has uracil. Also, all genetic info is stored in DNA, so DNA has to be stable and 'long-lived' to stored the information.
