re: #124 allegro

A point of definition really. A mutation of genetic code is a misfire in a manner of speaking that is unlikely to enter the population on even a minimal scale without that misfire occurring simultaneously in a number of individuals. Recombinant genes, for example from individuals from different populations being introduced and breeding, introduce a new recombinant gene sequence that create quick evolutionary changes in the populations.

OK, fair enough. I’m not a geneticist. I was always taught that a mutation was anytime the code you get out was different than the code you put in. If there is an extra layer to the distinction, so be it.
