They may very likely carry enough to determine whether a fertilized egg grows into a clam or an elephant. When chromosomes replicate during cell division, the DNA molecules that they contain presumably replicate...
Stealthy Viruses. This concept of the DNA molecule has started a vast amount of excited work. Mathematicians are trying to break its four-symbol code. Chemists are trying to dig deeper into its structure. All sorts of biologists are looking for effects of DNA on the behavior of living organisms, and they are finding a wealth of strange things. Loose DNA can penetrate certain bacteria, changing them permanently into a new strain. Many viruses are packets of DNA wrapped in a coat of protein. When a virus infects a living cell, it leaves its coat outside. The DNA enters...
