‘Alien life, such as bacteria, has been theorized by scientists to exist in the Solar System and quite possibly throughout the Universe.’, Gwendolyn started saying. Without caring about what she said before, she continued: ‘The ability to form organic acids and amine bases gives rise to the possibility of neutralization dehydrating reactions to build long polymer peptides and catalytic proteins from monomer amino acids, and with phosphates to build not only DNA, but also ATP. ‘
After having finished with that, she made a short break, just to try thinking if what she said made sense.
‘Due to their relative abundance and usefulness in sustaining life, many have hypothesized that life forms elsewhere in the universe would also utilize these basic materials. Is that true? But if not, what does the DNA of an alien look like? I mean, I know no one knows exactley, but is it the same with one of a human’s, similar to one of a human’s ore…totally different?’, the girl asked.
