its not the number of basic sequences that is supposed to increase, its the number of instances(unsa kadaghan) and permutations(arrangement) of it.
sorry to disappoint you.. but i think you misunderstood my post..
there are only 4 basic building blocks of a nucleotide sequence (DNA).. that's adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine.. all those 4 just keep on repeating and repeating, in different combinations or orders, but its still basically just 4. where's the *evolution* in that? you may have more chromosomes than a tadpole, but still, its composed of just 4, the same as the tadpole. its like you may have a longer dick than the tadpole (it may look different, it may act different), but its still basically just dick..
anyway, lets say you haven't *evolved* yet and you only have 4 different body parts in you..
so evolution is basically saying that you "acquire" more body parts of the same kind? that's not evolution, you're just repeating and repeating..
on the genetic level, there really isn't any "acquisition" going on..
but on the phenotypic level, it would look like you "acquired" a new trait.. but the fact of the matter is, you did not acquire it, you just have a different combination of sequence so that it will unlock that trait...
if this were mega-man, its like you reorganized the cells in your body so that your laser arm could fire that kind of ammo..
