Lets not be splitting genes here. :lol:


No you were calling a house a brick. :roll: I corrected the association.

And the operative term is to "splice" genes ....

Thank you!

Now see here primitive paramecium professing profligately on prior proven points! What are houses made of? ... Bricks! What are genes made of? DNA!

And stop calling me a Microbiologist! So petty! :roll:

we are grecophones, if are greeks; Hellenes, if you like. no different to Canadians, Brits or Americans: Cypriots.

again, by defining bicommunality as it suits our nature; to be Individuals as well as Persons, will require a State. and it will require a seperate level of government (subject to it) having for the distinct Communities, National Assemblies.

ending the division of our geography as a 'fait accompli' will require a Bizonal definition where the two parts are made of components. thus, enclaves must exist (islandwide) to redress the issues of the displaced (all the displaced equally), and to demonstrate our committment as a (/one) people for the value of Basic Human Rights, adding to our security with an end to the isolation from each other which the 'green line', at present, promotes.

Deniz ... genes are DNA!




Thats why I used the bricks and house metaphore. Genes are made up of DNA, but DNA is not a gene. Savvy?

Then it is your analogy which is at fault.

You said>>>>

does their DNA still exist in the Cypriot genes


Now, what random sequence of DNA are you talking about, which exists as DNA in one bunch of Humans, yet could do some major species changing leaps towards forming a gene in another bunch of people?

Not only do people seem to wrongly assume we have such differences, that they can group us into races, when along comes you and suggests bits of non-gene DNA could form Cypriot genes as though they were so different? :roll:

As I said .... Pedantic! Tish ! Are you going to take me down to BASES (mortar) now :D
