Analyzes Randomness in Major Genetic Processes and Events No matter
how far science advances, the proportion of what is knowable to
what is random will remain unchanged, and attempts to ignore this
critical threshold are futile at best. With the revolutionary
explosion in genetic information discovery, it is crucially
important to recognize the underlying limitations of scientific
prediction in genetics. Genetics and Randomness furthers the
understanding of the role randomness plays in critical biological
processes. The book also navigates the complex nature of genetic
uncertainty from different points of view and at various levels of
biological organization. Avoids Unnecessary Technical Details and
Specific Terminology Exploring areas ranging from basic quantum
mechanics and molecular genetics to modern evolutionary genetics
and the philosophy of mathematics, this well-organized text
discusses: Spontaneity of mutations and their relation to subatomic
randomness Deep links between subatomic fluctuations and long-term
macroscopic changes in living organisms The multitude of random
events that occur during development Segregation, genetic drift,
and natural selection Randomness and uncertainty are not occasional
and regretful deviations from the "true" principles upon which life
is built. Genetics and Randomness illustrates the ubiquitous nature
of randomness as an integral feature of all essential processes,
effectively embracing a probabilistic understanding of the
phenomena of life.
