I taught genetics over 40 years ago. There was no "one gene, one function" perception at that time. The mapping from "function" to "gene" was varied; sometimes one-to-one, sometimes many-to-one, sometimes one-to-many.

"The mapping from "function" to "gene" was varied; sometimes one-to-one, sometimes many-to-one, sometimes one-to-many."
Interestingly enough, we find precisely that same situation when analyzing database keys and computer programming code today...
