fungi are extra alive somehow
51 0 ReplyI swear Fungi are an alien species, they're so weird
14 0 ReplyFungal DNA contains five nucleobases where plant and animal DNA only contain four, so they literally are a whole different life form. There are several other differences from animal and plant DNA that are apparently remarkable but hard for me to understand well enough to regurgitate here.
7 3 ReplyWhat are you talking about? I'd like a citation for that.
DNA in all eukaryotes is composed of adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. RNA in eukaryotes subs in uracil for thymine.
There are things that make them substantially different from other branches of life, but not in that way.
5 1 ReplyAbsolutely not true. Fungi are weird but not this weird. Citation please

How so?

8 0 Replythey're neither plants or animals, so... what does that have to do with being extra alive
4 0 ReplyThat’s how I interpreted @moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com ’s “extra alive” phrasing. If you want to know exactly what they meant, I recommend asking them.
