Knockout strategies have demonstrated that the function of many genes cannot be studied by disrupting them in model organisms because the inactivation of these genes does not lead to a phenotypic effect. For living systems, this peculiar phenomenon of genetic redundancy seems to be the rule rather than the exception. Genetic redundancy is now defined as the situation in which the disruption of a gene is selectively neutral. Biology shows us that 1) two or more genes in an organism can often substitute for each other, 2) some genes are just there in a silent state. Inactivation of such redundant genes does not jeopardize the individual’s reproductive success and has no effect on survival of the species. Genetic redundancy is the big surprise of modern biology. Because there is no association between redundant genes and genetic duplications, and because redundant genes do not mutate faster than essential genes, redundancy therefore brings down more than one pillar of contemporary evolutionary thinking...

Speaking of redundancy; don’t you get tired of spreading lies?
A bit technical, but well worth the read...Ping!!!
Care to point out the specific “lies” that you claim to have uncovered in this paper?
I wasn’t even addressing those - I was talking about yours.
the lies are anything the worshippers of humanism say they are.....
Same question, where are these lies that I have supposedly told? I suggest you come up with something quick, otherwise everybody is going to think that it is you who are the liar.
It’s fascinating listening to evo-atheists who don’t even believe there is such a thing as objective truth call everybody they disagree with liars!
Bump!
“Speaking of redundancy; don’t you get tired of spreading lies?”
And how would YOU or HE know that they were lies?
Pop goes the weasel again!
That’s all you’ve ever got; childish goads.
Forgot this
You are about the stupidest person I have come across...
Sniff SNIFF... You smell like a troll. Show some intelligence refute the argument instead of accusing people of lying.
How about we start with your idiotic contention (endlessly restated) that the Earth is 6,000 years old? Or how about how Catholics or others of faith that do not agree with that stupidity should not be regarded as Christian because they fail to adhere to your juvenile and hopelessly ignorant views? Hmmm?
In what post does the original poster state that? Do you bother quoting when you post? That statement sure is not in the original post.
Thanks for the ping!
