It seems like that would be a smart strategy for evolution instead of permantely deleting something.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoA lot of it is infact something like that. Only the feature is often something like a transposable element that you absolutely do not want to ever turn on, else it will randomly insert itself all over your DNA potentially in the very important bits as well and make things no longer work.
