This illustration pays homage to the famous drawing "Vitruvian Man" by Leonardo Da Vinci. In the drawing, Da Vinci portrays the proportions of man, or the "Canon of Proportions." The drawing is based on the correlations of ideal human proportions with geometric proportions described by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius in his treatise "De Architectura." Vitruvius described the human figure as being the principal source of proportion among the classical orders of architecture. In this illustration, the figure of a man is replaced by that of a woman. Additional elements include a depiction of molecular DNA and a cascade of foreground molecules represent the molecular structure of the four nucleotides present in the organic base pairs of DNA: thymine, cytosine, guanine and adenine.

Vitruvius described the human figure as being the principal source of proportion among the classical orders of architecture. In this illustration, the figure of a man is replaced by that of a woman. Additional elements include a background depiction of molecular DNA and a background of the alphabetical symbols for the four nucleotides, guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine, that compose the organic base pairs of the DNA double-helix chain.

This illustration depicts a male figure and molecular DNA. The cascade of foreground molecules at the top represents the molecular structure of the four nucleotides present in the organic base pairs of DNA: thymine, cytosine, guanine and adenine. Molecules at the bottom represent the phosphate and deoxyribose groups of nucleotides which form the chain that bonds all the nucleotides together in the DNA double-helix.

DNA helix and egg fertilization. Conceptual computer artwork that represents reproduction set against a background of DNA helixes (deoxyribonucleic acid). Sperm cells carry the male component of the genetic material (DNA), contributing half of the genes for a new human. A sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell (containing the female genetic component) to form a zygote.
