GENE DOGMA. “The consequent view that all the heritable information transmitted from parent to offspring resides in material particles, namely genes, which replicate during reproduction and trigger the developmental construction of the new individual, has proved remarkably resilient even as its empirical basis has been increasingly eroded. This understanding fits naturally with a substance ontology, as it regards what is inherited as a collection of things—genes—together with their defining properties, namely the dispositions to cause phenotypic effects.”
