I am not a biologist, but from what I understand the gene regulatory network is like a neural network, so it could encode arbitrary behaviour as selected by evolution. Maybe someone who knows what they are talking about could chime in.
- VeninVidiaVicii 3y agoIt was rhetorical. The answer is immaterial, just that the question presented a clear deviation from the dogma.
- melagonster 3y agothis is more like a question of development biology. gene regulation play important role during development of cell. so the common question is what decide the fate of cells? and this is difficult. the normal explanation in textbook: when embryo develop, cell grow up to specific type by many different way(surely gene regulation), and in the whole life of individual cell just mitosis.
