About the causes for the genetic takeover in evolution. Based on the case show in (a), which represents an advanced system supported by a DNA genome (See text for details), at step 2 × 106, (b) F SFD is changed from 1 to 2 (the template activity of DNA is turned down); (c) P FPDD is changed from 0.001 to 0.01 (the fidelity of DNA replication is turned down); (d) F BBD is changed from 0.01 to 1 (i.e., DNA becomes equal to RNA in stability)
