Humans can create a clone, but not a real biological cell? Why?

Cloning technology

Since the establishment of modern science in the period of Galileo-Copernicus, human beings have developed rapidly in the past three hundred years, leading the behavior of human civilization to a new aspect ratio. well known. The wonderful magic of science depends on its ability to transform a civilized behavior. In the ancient times when science had not yet germinated, the development trend of human civilization behavior was trapped in illness and starvation. After the advent of science, agriculture, animal husbandry and diagnosis and treatment. With milestone development, the global population is rapidly increasing.

In 1990, the Human Genome Project was fully launched. According to the conception of the plan, human beings will obtain the secrets of 25,000 genetic genes of the body. It is a deeper understanding of the body. Today, the results of this project are widely It is widely used in diagnosis and treatment, enabling thousands of patients to obtain better care. Genetics is the root of the body, and the mastery of genetics also helps human beings understand the pathogenesis of some serious diseases and help human beings break through incurable diseases.

"Cloning technology", "gene editing technology" and "cell engineering project" all reflect the development trend of contemporary molecular biology, which makes us proud, but also keeps us awake to understand that in front of nature , we are still just ignorant and ignorant children. We can build airplanes and spaceships, and we can build rockets and aircraft carriers, but we can't build a real grain of rice, a leaf, or even a microbial cell.

Humans can produce the most sophisticated integrated ICs, and even lay out billions of transistors on an integrated IC the size of a fingernail, but why can't they even create a real microbial cell? Some people think divergently, thinking that cells are high-precision micro-robots produced by advanced civilizations. They have a purpose and will evolve by themselves. They have a life to pursue perfection, and they will continue to form more complex robots, that is, all kinds of microorganisms. . This kind of idea is also a helpless idea, because today's high-tech level really can't create a real cell.

A detailed cell, although it looks subtle, actually contains eight wastes. Even a small cell contains the entire genetic material of the plant in its nucleus. As far as human cells are concerned, each cell has 3 billion base pairs, which is 6 billion bases, and the length of each base is about 0.34 nanometers, which has long surpassed that of human beings. The production and processing technology, no, far more than the word has long been unable to express the difference.

It is worth mentioning that orderly physiological activities can be carried out inside the cell. Each organelle performs its own responsibilities in the tiny cell. There are membrane proteins to supply kinetic energy, as well as protein manufacturing plants, lipid manufacturing plants, and Its various life chemicals that manipulate the entry and exit of cellular chemicals and the transformation of chemical substances, cell copying is also an extremely complicated whole process, and cannot tolerate a little mistake. There are also various enzymes involved, which has long surpassed the current Thousands of times the high-tech of human beings is not a meaningful thing for human beings.

It took tens of millions of years to create the first cell on earth, but it took billions of years in the universe. Human scientific knowledge has been around for more than 300 years, and there are extremely With great development potential, it is possible to create a real cell over time, but the difficulty factor is indeed too great now. But if it can't be done now, it doesn't mean it can't be done in the future, so it can't be said that cells are produced by a god-level civilization.
