My genetic autobiography can be found throughout my body.

The minute those two little particles inside a woman's womb have joined together, billions of decisions have been made. A thing like that has to come from entropy.

The egg of every species of animal or plant carries a definite number of bodies called chromosomes. The sperm carries the same number. Consequently, when the sperm unites with the egg, the fertilized egg will contain the double number of chromosomes.

Biology is far from understanding exactly how a single cell develops into a baby, but research suggests that human development can ultimately be explained in terms of biochemistry and molecular biology. Most scientists would make a similar statement about evolution.

Life is the division of human cells, a process which begins at conception.

When sperm and egg unite, something goes from inanimate to animate. It is life.

People can take away your assets, but not your DNA.

Throughout my life, I've had consistent DNA.

Genes themselves are made of bits.

The nucleic acids have considerable biological importance because of their role in cell growth and in the transmission of hereditary characters.

Upon the union of the male germ cell with the female egg cell, a new cell is created which almost immediately splits into two parts. One of these grows rapidly, creating the human body of the individual with all its organs, and dies only with the individual.

Cells will die in minutes to days if they lack their genetic information system. They will not evolve, they will not replicate, and they will not live.

Nuclear DNA encodes all the proteins and enzymes that make you you, basically.

The origin of each of us stems from codes of genetic inheritance.

DNA is the master blueprint for life and constitutes the genetic material in all free-living organisms and most viruses. RNA is the genetic material of certain viruses, but it is also found in all living cells, where it plays an important role in certain processes such as the making of proteins.

I first heard about 'genes' when I was six years old. At dinner one night, I heard my mom tell my sister, 'It's in your genes.'

Man comes not from an egg but from an animalcule that is found in male sperm.

My genetic makeup is a little bit crazy.

I've got some genetic gifts.

I've wanted to write a book on embryology, that extraordinary journey where you start off as a single cell and end up with a human body, for a general audience for years.

Individuality is very important for a full human life.

as to fix the moment that the embryo becomes an animal.
