      <description>&lt;p&gt;Cells function according to the programming stored in their DNA.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;DNA is madeup of nucleic acids which is made up of nucleotides, as nucleobases, which actually have the data or programming.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;A recent &lt;a href=&#34;https://iai.tv/articles/theres-more-to-evolution-than-genes-auid-3126&#34;&gt;article in IAI&lt;/a&gt; argues that evolution operates through biological self-modification rather than Darwinian random chance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is consistent with Bio Superphysics which supports Lamarckian evolution over the Darwinian.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In Darwin&amp;rsquo;s system, changes emerge from the gradual accumulation of random mutations from natural selection.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In Lamarck&amp;rsquo;s system, changes are from the will of the organism and can happen quickly or slowly depending on that will or desire.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;!-- This alternative view aligns closely with Lamarckism, particularly as articulated in Jean-Baptiste Lamarck&#39;s *Zoological Philosophy* (1809), Chapter 3, where he proposed that organisms can modify themselves in response to their environment and pass these modifications to offspring. --&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;modern-evidence-mcclintocks-jumping-genes&#34;&gt;Modern Evidence: McClintock&amp;rsquo;s Jumping Genes&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The article cites Barbara McClintock&amp;rsquo;s groundbreaking discovery of controlling elements—Ac (Activator) and Ds (Dissociation)—now known as transposable elements or &amp;ldquo;jumping genes.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
