you die

You become a chimpanzee?

simple, you die.

You develop cancer-like tumours and die.

Wait.. a second.. that's not a scorpion!

what the fuck is that oh fucking shit it's poisonous isn't it

>>3803639
I wonder how it tastes

Now now, /sci/ in order to get credit, you must show your work.

Stock up on bananas?

It's a stick insect, and not poisonous.

non-biofag here. would all new cells created be chimp cells? like, you'd be fine (physically) for a while, but as old cells die and new are created, you'd turn all chimp. I think you'd die long before due to organ shits and whatnot, but still..... maybe?

You're entire body is immediately recognized as a foreign body.
The autoimmune disease from hell ensues.

You die.

The question is just stupid. Assuming you avoided the autoimmune disease from hell thing and SOMEHOW continued living, you wouldn't turn into a chimp. Genes are activated and deactivated in specific sequences throughout development to produce the final body form of multicellular organisms and to carry out regular metabolic functions. The interplay between genes in genome and between the genome and body AND between the genome and environment are MUCH more complicated than any hollywood movie would have you believe (and beyond my scope of knowledge; I'm an ecologyfag).

ok, fair enough. let's reduce the experiment now. what if we had a bunch of petri dishes filled with living samples of different human cells. Then we pointed our DNA Replace-o-matic ray gun at them and changed *only* the DNA in the cells with chimp DNA, nothing else. What would happen then away from immune systems and environmental interactions?

Congratulations, you just invented cloning.

>>3803996
forgot pic.
Technically it might be a problem to get the clone to start growing, but chimpanzee and human is relatively close, so maybe. Although there are chromosomal differences...

>>3804004
explain how you would grow a clone without an egg cell...

well, using stoner logic on what i read here:
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/05/scientists-create-first-self-replicating-synthetic-life/
i'd say that either:
1. you'd slowly turn into a chimpanzee,
2. you'd die from massive organ failure because the DNA got replaced by a virus, so the DNA swap was performed on different cells at different times as the virus propagated throughout your system, or
3. subbing magic/aliens/lasers/magical alien lasers/whatever instead of viruses, you'd probably die of horrible organ rejection as the cell only transforms when it divides (human mother cell -> 2 chimp daughter cells) and different cells in your body will divide at different times. also, certain structures in your body won't be able to transform into chimpanzee-like structures either because it's not made up of cells (like the entire structural component of your skeleton) or because the cells don't divide, like osteocytes (which move blood and shit in and out of the skeleton) and a good chunk of your neurons. note: osteocytes don't divide but when they die, older osteoblasts will take their place and become osteocytes. so for most of the cells that don't divide or whatever, your body does have mechanisms to replace the dead cells, but it'd take an awful long time to replace all/most of them so i'm going to assume you'd be dead by then anyways.

also, i speculate that cells that weren't on the verge of dividing would cease to function or produce different proteins because the genetic information of the cells that the rna is trying to call on is different than what was originally in the cell.

> Implying viruses are non-specific enough to infect every cell in our body

We call this AIDS + Cancer

Easy, my body would kill the virus, but not before it gives me chimp strength. I can live with a taste for bananas, not like I don't have one right now anyways.
