I hope you have noticed Mamzelle's insistance that changes in the Y chromosome 'loses' information.

Perhaps this our opportunity to clarify the whole 'information' problem, from a bona fide mathematician.

How about it Mamzelle? Care to tell us what measure of information is to be used for biological organisms and why?

Could you also explain to us why such things as point mutations, gene duplication followed by a point mutation, and polyploidy do not result in an increase in information?

Heck, while you are at it, mind explaining why any 'information increase' is necessary for evolution to take place? Why can not a single 'change' in a gene, say a HOX gene, produce a different morphology?

You know, that might be a good question if it was asked seriously. A lot of this might be fun to discuss with different people.
