In all living forms, science has discovered genes – which is the encoding of repeating itself.

Question – Is there something in all living forms that says, “I am different”?

My observation is that ‘I am different’ is not only a characteristic of humans but also in the lowest of the living form – plants.

1. Each plant has different shapes of leaves. This differentiation is not required for producing food.
2. A few plants grow vertically and other grow horizontally. This differentiation is not required for survival.
3. Every flower produces a unique design of flower – from the shape of sepals, petals or arrangement of sepals or petals, even colour patterns are unique. This differentiation is not required for reproduction.
4. The fruit produced by each plant is unique with different textures and tastes. This differentiation is not required for anything except the ‘nature of giving’.

All of the above 4 elements are not required for repetition or reproduction. Each plant or tree need not express so differently to reproduce themselves which is related to gene theory.

I want to know if there is anyone working on the Theory of being different.
