Which contained all the genetic material found in a modern banana -nothing added; some information lost perhaps, but not added.
That argument has never made any sense to me. How does rearranging the bits and pieces on a DNA molecule change the
amount of information? Rearranging the letters in a sentence changes the meaning, but not the amount of information.
In a science class, how would you show that mutations cause a change in the amount of information? And how would you show that the simple rearrangement of bits of a molecule always causes a
decrease in information?
