From conversations with a biochemist, I gained an appreciation for the complexity of genetics. It’s like a computer reading byte code to boot, except the computer makes the hardware that executes the code. That’s the simplest layer of it. I only know a scratch On the surface of how interconnected it all is. If you have an error in a gene that will likely cause an incorrectly generated protein. Proteins and protein synthesis must be relatively resilient to this kind of common error. If that system isn’t resilient then other systems prevent the error from propagating. These solutions must exist or else life wouldn’t work. And this is all in a single cell. Cells coexisting is such a strange thing.
