Human hands are the model for the neon electron configuration, organic chemistry, protein function and the genetic code structure. The human hands model is investigated for the periodic table. An original genetic code table is presented for the combined vertebrate mitochondrial and universal nuclear genetic codes. The developmental connection between human (vertebrate) mitochondrial and universal (standard) nuclear genetic codes is investigated. The genetic code structure models the bones and joints structure of a human arm.
