I'm a high school senior of punjabi/white descent, and I fully intend to mark my race as Hispanic.

I dont understand the point in putting CONTROLGROUP as your last name, though. Could you explain.

Yes, specialization is a good thing, and there are many dimensions on which you can measure talent. However, the correlation between some of these dimensions (mathematical ability, reading comprehension, recall, etc.) has been found to be about 0.4. That still leaves room for individual diversity of talent, but makes it clear that not everyone gets the same amount of points to invest into the skill tree.

Saying that everyone is a genius just devalues the word.

(This is baseless speculation by someone who has only taken Genetics 101)

Human cell nuclei produce mRNA from DNA, which then makes it's way to the ribosome to be expressed as a chain of amino acids, or a protien. On it's way to the ribosome, it needs protection from the cell's RNA cleanup enzymes, so it leaves the nucleus with a 5' cap and a poly-A tail.

Therefore, it makes sense that a virus that wishes to hijack human ribosomes would end in a poly-A tail (a bunch of As) in order to not get destroyed by human cells.
