The molecular underpinnings of genetic phenomena.

Abstract excerpt

Epiphenomena are those processes that ostensibly have no precedent at lower levels of scientific organization. In this review, it is argued that many genetic processes, including ploidy, dominance, heritability, pleiotropy, epistasis, mutational load and recombination, all are at least analogous to biochemical events that were requisite features of the RNA world. Most, if not all, of these features of...
