[[Anything that modifies genetic coding creates a new genotype]]
Only within the boundaries of species specific information- as mentioned before, species have several layers of protections that prevent them moving beyond their own kinds
[[and it is the change in genome that drives Natural Selection by effecting and affecting the fitness of species.]]
I had asked about evolution, not natural selection- NS works on species specific info- it doesn’t add new non species specific info- it can’t add spider silk mechanism to a bat or rat- it can onyl alter what is already present and allowed by the species protective mechanisms
[[For species with a lower rate of reproduction, the impact upon fitness]]
Again, we’re not discussing fitness or NS- I had asked about splicing resulting in new non species ‘allowed’ or ‘specific’ if you prefer, info (IE splicing adding in info to create silk in say a wombat, or a platypus bill into a goat- I’m not aware of any such splicing that creates new non species specific info out of nothing but a mistake

Resistance doesn’t = macroevolution

There is no species specific information. Only genotypes constructed from common code elements.
That's why the genetic code carried by viruses gets succesfully spliced into human genotypes.

Evolution, Natural Selection, and Fitness...
All apply in the study of...
Rather than opining about bats and silk worms - try understanding the fundamental concepts regarding why sexual reproduction evolved and renders increased fitness for species.
That might be slightly more constructive in the context of a culture where dominion assuming religion enthusiasts have failed to connect their children with reality to such an extent THAT THEY CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT WHAT SEX THEY ARE, Bob.
