Genetic adaptability

Because genes are recipes for proteins, they formulate the fabric of life.

Genes are meaningful stretch of chromosomes that are the raw materials for RNA and ribosomes to build proteins.

These genes are not what they appeared to be at first.

• Because thousands of genes work together they are more like a concert orchestra, the genome is not a mere collection of genes.
• Genome has been described as "an exquisite organ."
• the structure of the gene is less important than its functions
• the genome is at once an archive and a theater of possibilities
• the biological potential is turned into phenotypic reality by a complicated process
• There is not a one to one relation among genes and inherited characteristic traits, but instead genes possess "a symphonic quality."
