DNK? I think you mean DNA. <div>the genotype program that develips the fenotype is much more smooth and granular than a computer program. A chante un a gen does not make you to have a extra bone. It can make you to have your hand slighltly longer. or shorter. </div>
<div><br></div><div>In fact there are metalevels of selection that discard abrupt changes. For example, when females ovulate there are a strong selection where thounsands of candidate cell ovules are tested and discarded. This is one of the reasons why anomalous mutations are scarce. <br>

</div>And DNK is? I doubt. ;-)<br>
<br>
I think the approach is valid, it simulates what is happening in<br>
nature (random insertions, deletions, changes, translations, copies,<br>
etc, without any "higher" meaning and guiding). Only problem is that<br>
people often do not want to wait millions of years for evolution of<br>
programs to achieve their goal.<br>
<br>
Of course mutations are only part of the story. Also combining<br>
different parents' genes in a way to get functional offsprings is also<br>
a question how to do with programs.<br>
