LolThere are different types of mutations, this is important.
Human life is the length of time our dna can replicate before breakdown and mutations. Somthing about telemeres there you should read.
Environment stresses or forces faster replication why its applicable a lot.
Phages have been re-writting bacteria since the dawn of evolution, not hard and very common. Us humans have a xyXY dominant recessive (no idea were trans and self defind genders think they differ here) but plants can be far more complex which is why no one has ever cracked the hermie problem or genetics i guess.
Oh and im getting to that age where im hoping i dont have shit genetics or some recessive alzhimers (stupid word for dyslexics again) disease hidden away somewhere![]()
To completely oversimplify, there are genomics and epigenomics at play. It's the age old discussion of nurture vs nature and they both play an important part. Essentially our genetics have something of a road map with inherent expectations. Nature by interfacing with the epigenome can switch things off and on. Somethings are hard coded (color of our eyes) and others have more environmental influence possible (our immune system).
Things work similarly in plants. This is an interesting discussion of plant telomere history and biology.

Exactly, "Environmental shift" is a great example of nature's influence on the epigenome.Here is an opening to point out that a plant will or can "shift" how it runs, even it's physical traits. This comes from environmental conditions.
This is called "Environmental shift"
"Genetic shift" Only occurs when 2 different strains of DNA are combined by sexual reproduction.

Yes I agree you are such a pleasure. You translate my human science to your plant science, LOVE IT!If we could only press *like* more often.
+rep!
