B8: What is Symmetry?

Sofia. 4 Jan 2025

One of the research tasks is to scientifically explain the reasons that lead to asymmetry in living matter. This asymmetry represents an approximate symmetry. I call it real symmetry. I suppose the DNA molecule is not ideally symmetrical. But why? This is the question that new research should be based on. Why is the DNA molecule not perfectly (mathematically) symmetrical?

The photo above shows us a computer model of DNA molecules. Yes, there is an ideal (perfect) symmetry.

This is a real photo of DNA molecules. Now, you see the lack of ideal (perfect) symmetry

The photo above illustrates the lack of ideal (perfect) symmetry.

Do you think the above picture has perfect symmetry?

My opinion is that it has perfect symmetry because it was made with a computer and a specialized drawing program.
