genetic material

So I find it very interesting when the beginning of chapter twelve started out with the history of when things like the gene was discovered. I was born in 1991 and thye had discovered genes way before I was alive. I think that is awesome because it shows ow intelligent God made us. It really shows what we are capable of. We now have the 3 things that were known about genes when they were first discovered plus the entire chapter but that is way to much to blog about. The first thing that is known about genes is that it is able to store information that pertains to the development, shape, and metabolic activities of the cell or organism. Second, the stable so that it can be replicated with high fidelity during cell division and be transmitted from generation to generation. Lastly, it is able to undergo rare changes called mutation that provide the gentic variability required for evolution to occur. These things about the gene make life so much better!
