Your nerve growth gene is located in chromosome 1, as NGF (See Fig 1.1), or Nerve Growth Factor. This gene is what determines the power of your nervous system, and without it, the entire system fails. Like all genes, mutations can occur. The virus would negatively mutate the gene to a point where it has no more value, eliminating one of mans biggest weaknesses, pain.
It also eliminates our ability to think and and move any part of our body. Paralyzed zombies anyone?
There is one gene known to modify ones yearn for food. This gene is MC3R (See Fig 1.2), or Melanocortin 3 receptor, located in the 18th chromosome. It has been shown that people with the gene have a higher tendency to consume more fatty foods, like meats. The virus would affect the gene in two ways. First, it would amplify the eating need the gene creates. And two, would alter the need for meat in a way where the desire for meat is not satisfied by animal meat, but by human flesh.
this again is stupid, first off there is a gene that produces digestive enzymes that break down food and without it we would need more food. however to cause increased hunger and indeed nerve damage you would have to mutate every chromosome in every cell. not possible.
Uncontrolled genetic aggression has been known to be caused by two things: the lack of certain neurotransmitters and the presence of certain enzymes. Serotonin, or 5-HT (See Fig 1.3), is a neurotransmitter know to have several different uses to the body, one of which is to prevent un-controlled temper. When a male, and only a male, is missing 5-HT, they have a tendency to be more aggressive then others with the neurotransmitter present. There are also 3 enzymes know to show an increase in overall anger when present, which are: MAO-A, DAT1, DRD2. A zombie virus would most likely raise aggressiveness by removing ones 5-HT neurotransmitter, if present, and also create accelerated production of the anger-causing enzymes.
Uncontrolled genetic agression is the single stupidest phrase ive ever heard. This person clearly doesnt know the different between phenotype and genotype. Also if Serotonin levels are low your body just switches to Acetylecholine or dopamine as a substitute.
I study human biology at university, excuse my noob pwning.
