Sentence examples for by the genetic code from inspiring English sources

American theoretical biologist Jeffrey Wicken pointed out that replicating molecules, if they appeared first, would have had no impetus to develop a complex cellular package or associated protein machinery and that life thus probably arose as a metabolic system that was stabilized by the genetic code, which allowed life's second law-favoured process to continue ad infinitum.
