 There is a lot going on in this world which is beyond the ability of our sensory perception. Technology has helped us a bit in our detection and understanding but I think we have a long way to go. There is definitely to me an intelligence and a reason directing nature. Everything has a place and a reason.  |
like a virus (see what I did there lol), genes mutate, if genes and subsequently, genetic make up of a being mutates, it will change, sometimes form, sometimes function. This mutation could be an evolutionary process, (as in survival of the fittest), or it could be a failed substandard gene, where it doesnt develop as it was supposed to (sometimes by an environmental influence). this 'damaged' or a mutated gene then gets passed onto the next generation.
So the question then becomes, did stripes come first or spots?
