How to Find the Golden Ratio in DNA

golden ratio in dna main

The way that information is stored extremely compactly in DNA leads to the suspicion that fractality is involved. Fractal properties in plants and animals tend to crop up in space packing optimization, for example in seed pods. DNA compactly stores information in chromosomes as well as in the code’s long-range structure. Is the Golden ratio
