CAs are equivalent to 'gangs' - they do whatever they want until someone bigger and badder comes along and controls them.... just be the bigger and badder one to come along.

Unlike genes - CAs have no pattern or specific position in the lineup...the only controlling factor is what the consumer calls them on.

MD - that explains it.  Not a real scientist

LOL, funny. Actually I am a "real" scientist, the M.D. is a back-up factor. I'm sure you know most geneticist have their M.D., if I ever wanted to leave the "lab", I could. I'm of the generation of covering all my bases And as long as there is a grant there is a way to fulfill one's inner most dreams.

@ Lady Scarlett, I agree with your assessment on what a CA is, they're the easiest to figure-out.

What an interesting thread!

I have nothing positive to contribute to it, except when it comes to genes, I was cheated. If I return them, can I get my money back, and start over? LOL

CAs are amoebas ...  single cell creatures ... the lowest of lows

As a geologist, I have to toss in my two cents here.  CA's are schist....a hard, unmoving, without a heart, cold rock.  Awe, well, now I feel badly insulting that rock type.

It's just that all of you likely know what I mean by using that word.  Ha.
