It is Schroedinger who said that, who, considering his time in history, had a very broad view of what quantum mechanics and DNA are. Given his high level viewpoint he was correct, considering that he was making a reference to interactions at the level of the universe. Although it is actually your DNA which codes the colour of your eyes, it is also true that quantum mechanics plays a part in the DNA encoding itself, which is what makes his statement true. And the fact that furthermore an exact process was discovered actually makes his statement a remarkably good prediction, as shown here: "And, just as Schrödinger predicted, ‘every group of atoms’ does indeed play ‘an individual role’, with the position of even individual protons – a quantum property – determining each genetic letter".
