For each individual only 10 random genes are active. These 10 active genes give all the information in the same way as our DNA does for us. What happens if the map of 100 genes mutates? Now for one individual, the map is 99 or 101 genes big. Does this new map get passed on to offspring? If no, why not? If yes, you have heredity. If the larger map can't mutate, then your answer is just another way of looking at "prevent mutation" the randomness isn't a factor. | |

| Sep 23, 2015 at 15:45 | comment | added | Dan Smolinske | @IMil: I'm envisioning that each organism would have a complete species genome map, and their DNA would be randomized from that. | |
