gollark: That seems like a lot for a school project.
gollark: (also, this is probably more <#496135660831375370>)
gollark: (this isn't about a single actual physical molecule or something changing, but the genes for it changing slightly over time and producing different verisons)
gollark: I guess so. If you need, say, ten changes to an enzyme to bring it from one state to a much better one, but it works much worse/totally breaks while it's in the middle of both, it's hard for it to evolve to the better version.
gollark: If one what is stuck?
