Now have you ever wondered why DNA is like a code written to make a computer program? Do you think it was a mere coincidence why DNA and a computer code is almost the same? Share your thoughts.
For me, It is one of the puzzling part of every organisms.
No DNA is not like a computer program running single or multiple threads. Scientist and journalists use the analogy because DNA is a code based on chemical synthesis where processing produces the rendering of the output in the form of physical structures.
Computers execute instructions that perform information processing from a virtual perspective. The linkage or whole of a computer program's intent is purely a meta-physical artifact. Also the processing, memory and output functions of DNA assemblies can take advantage of random events regressionally and can selectively be rewarded allowing for evolution.
Computers can not take advantage of random processing on their own without a program that intentionally allows information or instructions to be modified and tests those modifications before allowing them to be implemented.
DNA is a product of chemical synthesis that can store and selectively reward configurations, a benefit from the quantum processes of atoms . For computers to do the same a program would have to come about randomly that could perform a similar capability and protect itself from being destroyed, not something digital computers do well.
