The DNA Puzzle The DNA Puzzle
Having all the genetic pieces for a particular cow still does not guarantee the cow will be what is desired.
Genetics is the foundational structure of all living things, which is, no matter how complicated or simple, like a jigsaw puzzle that has many pieces. The pieces are unique and only fit in one particular puzzle, except if the puzzle is cloned (an exact duplicate produced). Even in that case, not all the pieces may be interchanged with the clone.
