Human DNA is not synthetic
Urethane (Ethyl carbamate) is a substance which is an ester of carbamic acid, urethane is not a component of polyurethanes.
i was talking in simple terms regarding bushes for cars! human dna is hardly a simple thing to explain..and you will find that dna can be synthetic anyway if it is modified...there are numerous meanings for the word poly and is often an abbreviation for other words...ie polygon..(multiple sided 2 dimensional shape)..but this is a thread about bushes for cars hence why i said simplest terms...
