Where Code Comes From

Despite the dramatically different external appearances of my plants, and all other plants, the only real difference among them all is the code executing inside the cells of the plants in various parts of each plant. It is the code that makes the vibrant red flowers of the geranium, the tasty olives on the olive tree, and the exquisite Fibonacci sequence displayed in pinecones. The code in each cell of the plants executes differently depending on its specific location in the plant, as the bark of a tree has a different function from a leaf, and a leaf has a different function from a pinecone. So all the diversity in these plants and all other plants is based solely on differences in code and where and how that code is executed. Walter Myers 111. Evolution news
