The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Second, genes had to explain evolution: How could the inheritance of such units explain that organisms have acquired vastly different forms and features over time? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Again, he veered away from simple organisms, hoping to jump straight into humans. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z For the microbes include not only disease organisms but those that destroy waste matter, make soils fertile, and enter into countless biological processes like fermentation and nitrification. Silent Spring 1962-09-27T00:00:00Z But the problem with studying vertical transformation is that the gene never leaves the living organism or cell.

The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In Darwin's scheme, the rate of change of an organism was generally fixed, while the rate of natural selection could be amplified to accelerate evolution or dampened to decelerate it. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Like the master score of a bewitchingly complex symphonic work, the genome contains the instructions for the development and maintenance of organisms. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z This is not surprising, because in time of physiological stress the organism, be it fish or man, draws on stored fat for energy.

Cosmos 1980-01-01T00:00:00Z But the real conundrum that heredity solves is much more general: What is the nature of instruction that allows an organism to build a nose—any nose—in the first place? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z All have this in common: they are biological solutions, based on understanding of the living organisms they seek to control, and of the whole fabric of life to which these organisms belong. Silent Spring 1962-09-27T00:00:00Z For most of the four billion years since the origin of life, the dominant organisms were microscopic blue-green algae, which covered and filled the oceans.
