microbe.noun,.plural.microbes
a very small living thing; a minute life form; a micro.organism like a bacteria(especially a bacterium {singular of bacteria} that causes disease), some of which eat rust and live in the equivalent of battery acid, while others live in poop! Other microbes are in our bodies to clean up garbage;.Scientific American Magazine.September 23, 2015 reported on an article by Meadow JF, Altrichter AE, Bateman AC, Stenson J, Brown G, Green JL, Bohannan BJM. (2015).Humans differ in their personal microbial cloud. PeerJ 3:e1258"...individuals release their own personalized microbial cloud...through direct human contact with indoor surfaces,  bioaerosol particle emission from our breath, clothes, skin and hair and resuspension of indoor dust containing previously shed human skin cells, hair and other bacteria-laden particles. While indoors, we are constantly interacting with microbes other people have left behind on the chairs in which we sit, in dust we perturb and on every surface we touch. These human-microbial interactions are in addition to the microbes our pets leave in our houses, those that blow off of tree leaves and soils, those in the food we eat and the water we drink. It is becoming increasingly clear that we have evolved with these complex microbial interactions and that we may depend on them for our well-being (Rook, 2013). It is now apparent, given the results presented here, that the microbes we encounter include those actively emitted by other humans, including our families, coworkers and perfect strangers."

microtubule.noun,.plural.microtubules
any of the proteinaceous cylindrical hollow minute.filament structures that are distributed throughout the cytoplasm of living  eukaryotic cells, providing structural support and assisting in cellular locomotion and transport; composed of the protein.tubulin and occurring in pairs, triplets or bundles, they help cells maintain their shape and are the rails for the molecular motor kinesin to transport proteins around inside the cell; cytoskeleton fibres are composed of microtubules and actin.microfilaments
microtubular.adjective

Microtubules have an unstable shape. Why would Creator-God design a structure with such instability? He obviously knows what He is doing.

Ian Stewart says that the mathematical answer in this case is, a little bit of instability is a virtue. He explains that because molecules stick together, the seemingly unsteady structure is a lot more reliable than would at first appear.

The long cleavage lines where the structure is weak also turn out to be an advantage. Not only can microtubules grow longer by adding another layer of protein bricks, but they can also shorten, coming apart at the seams along those cleavage lines like peeling a banana. In fact they shorten about 10 times quicker than they grow. Various chemical signals control the production, construction and demolition of microtubules. These are initiated from information received via and after analysis by, the body's computers.

mitosis.noun,.plural.mitoses
mitotic.adjective
(see also meiosis)
the process in cell division by which the nucleus divides to increase the amount of cells as determined by the design of the Creator and which typically consists of five stages, interphase (the stage of a cell between two successive mitotic or meiotic-{cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells, leading to the production of gametes in animals and spores in plants}-divisions),-prophase-(the first stage of mitosis, during which the chromosomes condense and become visible, the nuclear membrane breaks down and the spindle apparatus forms at opposite poles of the cell. prophase is also the first stage of meiosis, constituted by a series of events that include DNA replication, the synapsis of homologous chromosomes, crossing over, the formation of chiasmata and contraction of the chromosomes),-metaphase-(the stage of mitosis and meiosis, following prophase and preceding anaphase, during which the chromosomes are aligned along the metaphase plate),-anaphase (the stage of mitosis and meiosis in which the chromosomes move to opposite ends of the nuclear spindle), and-telophase-(the final stage of mitosis or meiosis during which the chromosomes of daughter cells are grouped in new nuclei), and normally resulting in two new nuclei, each of which contains a complete copy of the parental chromosomes. Also called karyokinesis

Mitosis is a method of cell division spurred by the build up of proteins called cyclins (or to put it anoter way 'cyclins are the proteins that spur mitosis') in the cell, in which the nuclear.chromatin is formed into a long thread, which in turn breaks into segments-(chromosomes) that are split lengthwise, then moving to the opposite ends of the cell. 

Just prior to division an enzyme called polymerase triggers each base-to pair up. The halves then form new nuclear membranes around the chromosomes and a new cell wall forms, coming together in two sets, each set forming the nucleus for a new cell; and thus, two new double stranded-DNA-molecule are created, identical to the original, each of which contains a complete copy of the parental chromosomes.

Before the cell can complete its mitotic division, it must cut up its cyclins. This is different than the method used to remove old proteins.

The entire process (some parts of it are intensely complex with some horrendously so, like protein instructions) is managed by the body's-many-computers. A computation (with 4 factors, not just like the 2 we have in computers today, being 0's and 1's for ons and offs) occurs each time of cell division. The complexity involved is dumbfounding! Information stored in a set of DNA molecules is copied into a new set. And, bases in DNA connect in a specific manner. In this process is monstrous computing power.-

That's the kind of brilliance this Creator-God possesses who, thankfully, is as loving as He is intelligent.
