DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) holds all of our genetic information. Our genes are what allows our bodies to function and makes us who we are. DNA is found inside the nucleus of all of our cells. Eventually, all cells die and so they need to replicate themselves through the process of mitosis and meiosis. In this process DNA is replicated. DNA will first make a copy of itself in a process called replication with the aid of proteins. As a cell is dividing the chromosomes (tightly wound DNA) move to the center of the cell and then are pulled apart. So, half of a chromosome will be in each cell. Once the cell is separated the DNA is able to replicate itself so that a whole chromosome will be formed again. This process of cells dividing is called mitosis, which leaves you with two identical cells. Sex cells undergo meiosis, which is similar to mitosis except it undergoes division twice. The result is four cells that are not identical. Copied DNA is transmitted from one cell to the next but from parent to offspring through the egg and sperm.
As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
