Adaptations of a Very Specific Dragon to this Combination of Large Size and Flight For starters, allow me to define more carefully what I am asking. For now I am not worried about any of the following, as if this question is answered they will be covered in later questions: The aerodynamics or feasibility of its flight, covered Here Metabolic requirements. How such a creature evo... (more) |

Could a Retro-Virus be designed to accelerate random mutation? Assuming a genetic engineer possessed sufficient knowledge and facilities, could they design a highly infectious Retro-Virus or Adenovirus, which would drastically increase the rate of random mutations in infected life forms? To clarify, I am asking if this could cause rapid mutation over generation... (more) |
