DO YOU KNOW?
The longest single word that serves as an example of a muzzle paw in
English, contains eight letters:
stressed/desserts;samaroid/dioramas;rewarder/redrawer
You can also cite the following
examples: was/saw;gateman/nametag;enoteca/acetone;deliver/reviled;straw/warts,
star/rats lived/devil:live/evil;diaper/repaid smart/trams3
While researching this book, I came across some interesting information about the palindrome, strange as it sounds, in our own biology. It turns out that fragments of palindromes can be found in the DNA sequence and genetic codes of proteins - biological structures without which we simply cannot survive. However, in genetics, "palindrome" has a slightly different meaning than that used for words and sentences. Our genetic code, i.e. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is formed by two paired DNA strands (nucleotides), which are always combined in the same sequence: adenine (A) always binds to thymine (T), cytosine (C) to guanine (G). And together these two paired chains form the well-known structure of the DNA double helix. A sequence of a single strand of DNA is said to be a palindrome if it exactly matches the complementary sequence read backwards. For example, the sequence ACCTAGGT is a palindrome, since the additional sequence TGGATTCA to it is identical to the original one, read opposite. I also learned that scientists have proven that many bases on a chromosome (male chromosome) are organized as palindromes. The palindromic structure allows the Y chromosome to occur.
damage to one of the chains is restored by bending in half. Only
Imagine!
In the end, it is worth mentioning the "mordillap". Repeat again? Write
word backwards and get a palindrome. "Muzzlelaps" are words or phrases that, when read backwards, produce other words and phrases. They are also known as wavegrams, heteropalindromes, semipalindromes, reversograms, reverse anagrams, anadromes, etc. Sometimes they are called antigrams, but increasingly this term serves as an explanation for an anagram with the opposite meaning. The muzzle paws will become
