DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid — usually in the form of a double helix - that contains the genetic instructions specifying the biological development of all cellular forms of life, and many viruses. DNA is a long polymer of nucleotides (a polynucleotide) and encodes the sequence of the amino acid residues in proteins using the genetic code, a triplet code of nucleotides. DNA is thought to date back to between approximately 3.5 to 4.6 billion years ago.
In complex eukaryotic cells such as those from plants, animals, fungi and protists, most of the DNA is located in the cell nucleus. By contrast, in simpler cells called prokaryotes, including the eubacteria and archaea, DNA is not separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear envelope. The cellular organelles known as chloroplasts and mitochondria also carry DNA.
DNA is often referred to as the molecule of heredity as it is responsible for the genetic propagation of most inherited traits. In humans, these traits can range from hair color to disease susceptibility. During cell division, DNA is replicated and can be transmitted to offspring during reproduction. Lineage studies can be done based on the facts that the mitochondrial DNA only comes from the mother, and the male Y chromosome only comes from the father.
Every person's DNA, their genome, is inherited from both parents. The mother's mitochondrial DNA together with twenty-three chromosomes from each parent combine to form the genome of a zygote, the fertilized egg. As a result, with certain exceptions such as red blood cells, most human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, together with mitochondrial DNA inherited from the mother.
In
1945 Adolf Hitler refuses to accept defeat in the face
of the advancing allied forces. He's tried the V1 flying
bomb and V2 rocket, but failed to deliver a nuclear
strike. He may have lost this battle, but he has a plan
up his sleeve for world supremacy that the allies could
not possibly foresee. Over 80 years will pass before Hitler's
terrible scheme begins to see results.
EXPERIMENTS
From the vast DNA database on our planet, it is theoretically possible to build an incredibly strong human with super intelligence - super gladiators. Such endurance experiments have been going on in every country for military purposes. It all relies on the ability to decode and plug in the correct DNA sequences, sometimes from other animals and even plants - since DNA controls all life of earth. Human cloning though is illegal in many countries, so strict international controls exist. But what happens if this technology were to get in the wrong hands?

ANTHROPOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAN
In nature, man has developed from apes in Tanzania, Africa, to colonize the world. The process has taken millions of years to refine thinking ability from the Australopithecines to Homo Sapiens Sapiens. But in the last 100 years humans have developed the understanding of life at a microscopic scale, to be able to grow genetically modified crops. Today, we can genetically modify the DNA of a living subject, using a virus delivery system known as CRISPR.
Man has also learned how to clone animals, including humans.
