I was referring to DNA -> RNA -> protein taking over from RNA -> RNA.
A change in the meaning and expression of genes is more significant than a minor change in the chemical nature of genes.
Right - but I originally said;
A phenotypic takeover may be a highly significant event - but it should surely not be categorised as a genetic takeover. That term surely ought to refer to genes being replaced by other genes.
