For all the Geneticists in Da house.

Newly synthesized DNA is not methylated. So the cell has the ability to distinguish between newly synthesized DNA and template DNA. I'm pretty sure, but if I'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me. Ian Also the helicase only unwinds DNA, DNA polymerase replicates the DNA

any secrets to grow taller?

c'mon, there's no secret to growing taller. You get what you get. Thinking that you can magically make yourself taller is like thinking that you can make your penis bigger by pulling on it. I can tell you, I've pulled on mine constantly for years, and it's still the same size it has always been.
