Deoxynubleic acid (DNA)= Deoxys?

[Wolf_Goddess]

Eep! This is getting freaky.
If Deoxy means no oxygen (I was saying "Oh, its like DeOxyclean. Its against Oxyclean" It was a joke...) Then how could it survive if it has no oxygen. I know its a robot, but...

 

[Deoxys55]

Deoxys isn't a robot. XD
Plus, I said it was a rumor, and it was lacking some Oxygen. Kinda makes you wonder if it even breathes though, I mean, being able to travel through Space AND not having a mouth, he definently doesn't need it. XD

 

[Wolf_Goddess]

True. There is very little oxygen in space. But isn't it a rumor tha Pokemon came from space (In the Anime and Manga) and they breath air...
And Hitmonlee has no mouth...

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Space is a (partial) vacuum... so there's only like one atom of hydrogen for every 1000 square miles. So it's very capable that Deoxys can survive without oxygen :P

 

[Wolf_Goddess]

Is still confused...

Biology gets confusing... ((I'm in seventh grade, so I don't have it. Only science.))

 

[Emerald Queen]

OK, so I'm about to switch most of you off... :D

Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid is a very complex molecule, made up fron a combination of ribose sugar sides, and amino acid base pairs. We're all familiar with the spiral, or double helix shape, yes? Well, DNA also comes in a non spiral, crystaline form.

Also, the arrangement of the amino acids in the chain form interlocked rungs, the so-called base pairs. There are four main amino acid base pairs: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine. Now, four base pair amino acids, four Deoxys forms... do i see a link here ;) . Then to cap it, Deoxys changes shape from one game to another. DNA also alters shape during cell division...


As for Lugia, there's a winter sport, a kind of cross between sledging and bob sleighing, where the competetors ride down a prepared track, lying face up on a small sled that they steer with leg pressure. Its called Luging, and the sled is a Luge...

Hehe, Deoxys is a robot! XD But this is turning ino a Biology lesson now :P *Hates Biology*

XDDD....
I thought so too, but it is DNA Pokemon =.=


But biology is useful.

Don't worry about it. Chances are it's merely a coincidence, although a mighty big one. Still, you never know do you...? ;)

 

[The S]

Um... I dunno if this is true, but I heard somewhere that the "s" on the end of deoxys' name means that it lacks a certain amount of oxigen, giving it it's ability to shift form.

:D

 

[jynx]

Deoxy already means lack of oxygen.

s means it has a lot of organ systems without oxygen...that's the nearest translation I could get :P

 

[Wolf_Goddess]

found something else like that!

Dewgong is named after the species that Manatees (Sea-Cows) Are. I forgot what it is, but it sound similar...

 

[The S]

I'm guessing nobody caught my joke... :p

 

[Wolf_Goddess]

I did, you're called "The S" *Giggles insanely*

Dugong

It is not a manatee but is in the same order with manatee.

Dugong belongs to the family Dugongidae, whilst manatees belong to the family Hydrochichus.

Wow, this is getting more confusing by the second...

XD...All you need to know is Dewgong is a Dugong Pokemon.

 

[Esupio]

deoxys was based on this extremely complicated molceule how I know I read it somewhere

 

[jynx]

And that molecule is DNA!!!

 

[Esupio]

yeah deoxys does sound cooler then dna though
