Mutations:
Completely sealed membrane to protect from oxygen.
Primitive neurons that use their nanowires to transmit basic info, allowing colonies to determine the best direction to move.
(Disadvantage) Muscle cells.

- membrane stabilization proteins
- cytoskeleton to move cytoplasm around
• proteins that produce more energy
• Reduce unnecessery codons to optimize processes
i don’t think adding more RNA would be able to make the processes more efficient very easily, maybe optimization could work?
So optimize the RNA? Or how do you mean?
i mean optimize the things that use energy by removing unnecessary codons that add to the proteins but don’t do anything to reduce the energy spent moving the protein
base element: silica

scientific name: Aquia Tamalst
existing traits: RNA duplicase, flagellum

description: a simple protocell that lives near the surface in ponds, lakes and rivers
current habitat(s): epipelagic ponds and rivers
new habitat: epipelagic coasts
are you sure you don’t want to start from a pre-existing species? based on what you seem to want to start with a better option would be to split off of either kryto namenaldi or solaris examina and move to a new habitat
mine was heavily inspired by Kryto so i’ll split off from that
what mutations do you want for your species
flagellum or some way to be really fast
you already have one, also you get three mutation slots one of which has disadvantage because of your existing traits
a nucleus-like structure and cilia
is multicellularity possible? if it is then ignore the cilia and add that
yes but you need to have the proteins for a round first, you also have three MP, not just two, just one has disadvantage
Mutation uno: using Hydrogenperoxide to break down FeCl2 into FeO2 and 2 HCl
Mutation dos: improve flagella to be more effective
sorry for the delay
what proteins are needed?
none yet, RNA can do everything proteins can and you already have all of them that you need
so just survive a round?
just think of what you want and give me your mutation sheet. here’s an example:
- binding “proteins”
- improved flagellum
- integration of wires into leech pilus
EDIT: you know what i’m just gonna start the next round now
