Its significance is exaggerated.

What has that pseudostructure of the DNA to do with the golden ratio? DNA doesn't even look like that.

>6 petals.

Where's your fibonacchi sequence now, faggot?

The golden ratio is a good way to describe the form of an object whose development is dependent on the rate of its growth, when that rate is determined by the growth of parts it produced previously.
The structure of DNA doesn't fall into that category, the structure of spiral galaxies, not sure; cyclonic weather systems, maybe; ferns, flowers of compositae, cephalopod shells and leaves of agave all fall into that category.
