Quotes by Mutation Sometimes I just think we're not meant to fly halfway around the world in a day. That some kind of mutation is going to happen. Andrew Bird mutation around-the-world thinking New Orleans is a glorious mutation Anthony Bourdain mutation glorious new-orleans The evolution of cultures appears to follow the pattern of the evolution of species. The many different forms of culture which arise correspond to the "mutations" of genetic theory. Some forms prove to be effective under prevailing circumstances and others not, and the perpetuation of the culture is determined accordingly. B. F. Skinner mutation different culture We have seen that in certain respects operant reinforcement resembles the natural selection of evolutionary theory. Just as genetic characteristics which arise as mutations are selected or discarded by their consequences, so novel forms of behavior are selected or discarded through reinforcement. B. F. Skinner mutation reinforcement behavior Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time. Bertrand Russell mutation materialism yield I know that the human condition will be radically changed through technical means. Much of this change will be painful, monstrous and horrible. Most mutations are disgusting failures, most experiments are failures. I accept this and I don't find it frightening. Bruce Sterling mutation painful mean There is some research that suggests that viruses like the flu are really actually kind of at the razor's edge when it comes to mutation. They're mutating so fast that if they mutated much faster they would actually develop a lot of harmful mutations that could slow them down and cripple them and eventually literally drive them extinct. Carl Zimmer mutation viruses research When you get sick with the flu you get infected with flu viruses and they make lots of new flu viruses, but those new viruses are not exact copies of the old ones. They have mutations in them. A lot of those mutations are harmful. Carl Zimmer mutation viruses sick You would think that UV just causes mutations, but it doesn't, you need a gene to be active for it. Cynthia Kenyon mutation needs thinking In the early '90s, we discovered mutations that could double the normal life span of worms. Cynthia Kenyon mutation worms normal First of all, many human diseases are influenced by, if not caused by mutations in genes. Daniel Nathans mutation disease firsts The food you eat is among the most significant factors affecting your genes and pushing them toward cancer by causing mutation or disruption in their function. That is, what you eat can either prevent cancer and other chronic illnesses or help cause them. Dharma Singh Khalsa mutation cancer pushing Mutations are exciting, there aren't nearly enough of them. Doug Stanhope mutation enough exciting In microbiology the roles of mutation and selection in evolution are coming to be better understood through the use of bacterial cultures of mutant strains. Edward Lawrie Tatum mutation mutants culture In Darwin's theory, you just have to substitute 'mutations' for his 'slight accidental variations' (just as quantum theory substitutes 'quantum jump' for 'continuous transfer of energy'). In all other respects little change was necessary in Darwin's theory... Erwin Schrodinger mutation variation energy This seems highly likely, especially as it has been shown that in several systems mutations affecting the same amino acid are extremely near together on the genetic map. Francis Crick mutation maps together A final proof of our ideas can only be obtained by detailed studies on the alterations produced in the amino acid sequence of a protein by mutations of the type discussed here. Francis Crick mutation finals ideas A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement. Francis Crick mutation acid agreement It is probably fair to estimate the frequency of a majority of mutations, in higher organisms, between one in ten thousand and one in a million per gene per generation. Francisco J. Ayala mutation majority generations If life really depends on each gene being as unique as it appears to be, then it is too unique to come into being by chance mutations. Frank B. Salisbury mutation chance unique 123»
