How would you create the perfect organism? Define "perfect" in any way you like. Most efficient or whatever. Try to make it physically possible.

There are (potentially) millions of answers to your question......

=p more than millions. An infinite amount but if you're being realistic then you would base how many possibilities on possible formations of proteins ie enzymes. With a number that large it's easier to just say infinite =p. Then of course you have to define perfect. If my perfect organism was just the one that survived and wiped out competition it would be some sort of super virus.

The definition of 'perfection' is dynamic, so it is quite impossible to establish a perfect organism. Once we have attained that state, the induced paradigm shift will inevitably redefine 'perfection', causing us to once again have work to do.

Well from what I can think of a perfect organism is one that survives long enough to reproduce =p that's all it is. And one that always survives and always reproduces. How it does that is where the variety comes from.

I would say the perfect organism is bacteria. They succeed where others fail. They survive where others die. The inhabit the otherwise uninhabitible. Every other living thing needs them, but they could live without averything else.
That said, I wouldn't want to be one. blaugh
