Plant Genes

Feline and Canine Genes

⋆࿔ᝰ.✩

Abstract Biology

On this page I will lay out the biology information for character development. Using the genetics of plants and amino acids to develop my characters: 

The Laminae

I will take the 22 tRNA’s to create cues for each character. When an amino acid surfaces, that is the cue for a character to enter the picture. The Laminae are named after plants and the plant’s DNA, biosynthesis genes create their speech patterns

Introduction

The Voice has decided that their names will determine what plant genes will be used

“We will build new species, upgraded from human.”

A shapeshifter, this creature can alter the form of nearby structures. It can alter physical form and speech as well. When someone speaks to another, this creature captures and then edits what has been said before it reaches the other person.
