, can create offspring with any lifeform and are artificially created.
My basic idea was that it would be very difficult to find DNA that could pair bond with so many different species (even a crossbreed of Horse and Donkey is sterile due to too many differences in the genetic code). So it must be a very generic DNA. Like a master key that can fit all locks. That would also mean a higher rate of mutation since a "loose fit" produces more errors during reproduction. Also, I use the term DNA very casually. It is an acronym for the specific molecules making up a human's genetic information and I use the term here as general name for genetic information cause it is nice and short and people know I mean).
Going from a designer's point of view you have to write down what a Puca is first. That is the hexagon in the center in the top down view. It is the basic Puca code and cannot be changed at all (like hardware code on the motherboard). Surrounding it is the spine. Human DNA also has a spine, but compared to a Puca's it is like a toothpick. The supportive structure is massive and rigid, protecting both the basic code from tampering and other damage (like radiation). On the ends of the spine sit the actual genetic information carriers. Each carrier is blocked by an inhibitor both protecting it and deactivating it. In the image I have shown only 3 different carriers, but it could be many more. I simply choose three cause it makes the image simpler. Once a Puca breeds with a species the inhibitors detect what kind of genetic code they are dealing with and unlock the appropriate carrier. This prevents mix-ups during reproduction. The Puca code and the new code mix and together a new Puca species is born.
Depicted above is a newly created Puca that has not interbred with any species yet, thus all inhibitors are still active. The image above could show a carrier that fits human DNA (based on carbon) while another might be for a silicon based life form.
I like this a lot. Does this also take into account the "junk" DNA fragments which research has shown carries more important information than previously thought?
