VIRAL CODE EVOLUTION. "At least one case has been seen of two viruses "crossing over" to produce offspring...(but) a random change is unlikely to create a viable program. This however does not prevent evolution." (Page 50). https://lnkd.in/etkXtU6 View in LinkedIn

SIMPLISTIC. "The ‘Hello World’ program analogy is inadequate for the task of modeling naturalistic evolutionary theory, it is way too simplistic." https://lnkd.in/dZqxxrU View in LinkedIn

PLANETARY EVIDENCE. "What is the chance of producing, by random mutation and natural selection, the digital computer program that is the DNA molecule, not to mention the protein synthesis machinery and information-processing mechanism, all of which is mutually interdependent for function and survival?" https://lnkd.in/dZqxxrU View in LinkedIn

CONTRARIAN. "Writing Computer Programs by Random Mutation and Natural Selection. What is the probability of arriving at our Hello World program by random mutation and natural selection? The unfathomable probabilistic hurdles that must be overcome to produce the simplest of all computer programs by Darwinian mechanisms." https://lnkd.in/dZqxxrU View in LinkedIn

VIRAL MUTATION. "There are plentiful opportunities for data corruption in the modern computing environment. Faults in hardware or on storage media itself can lead to new bit patterns, and hence new instructions, in programs. Faulty software can overwrite either code or result in the creation of stray pieces of orphan code." (Page 50). https://lnkd.in/etkXtU6 View in LinkedIn

CIRCADIAN GENE "CO directly activates transcription of the floral integrators FT and SOC1, but only when expression of its mRNA coincides with the light period under long day conditions. This is because the CO protein is subject to post-transcriptional regulation and is ubiquitinated and degraded by the 26S proteasome in the dark." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

VERNALIZATION. "Two floral-enabling pathways result in the downregulation of the FLC repressor, the vernalization pathway and the autonomous pathway. Vernalization, resulting from exposure to low temperatures (between 08C and 108C), is a quantitative response and causes progressive downregulation of the FLC gene until the response is saturated after several weeks." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

CLOCK GENE. "One of the genes whose expression is under control of the circadian clock is CO, which is a key regulator of the photoperiodic pathway. The rhythmic expression of CO cycles such that low levels of transcripts are observed during the day. Expression begins to increase approximately 8 h after dawn, followed by a broad peak between 12 and 16 h after dawn." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

PATHWAY CROSSROADS. "Expression of the floral-integrator genes is actively repressed by the floral inhibitor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). Consequently flowering is prevented until this repression is lifted by the floral-enabling pathways, thus allowing activation of the floral-pathway integrators by the floral-promotion pathways." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

PHYTOCHROMES. "Different phytochromes have different roles in controlling plant development and this is the case for the photoperiodic-perception process." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn
