Nathan	The Varieties of Molecular Explanation*	2012	20	.pdf	application/pdf	9849	607	46	Reductionists in biology claim that all biological events can be explained in terms of genes In what follows, I shall not attempt to specify general necessary or sufficient conditions for explanation, an important philosophical endeavor that, however, transcends Our initial claim that the above explanation of SCA cites only genetic and biochemical facts requires substantial clarification: a few qualifications are thus in order. present purposes is that, provided that Murray's models are roughly correct, a comparative explanation of coat pattern formation across organisms and species requires only still lack a molecular explanation of intra-specific differences in pattern formation. explanation that combines genetic and molecular details with mathematical models to In both types of explanation, molecular properties are important difference makers. difference to the outcome of a process occur both at the biochemical and the geometrical level, we have morphogenetic explanations, where genes and molecules are brought	./cache/work_7aywc62ynjcy7j2n6rnu6kt7n4.pdf	./txt/work_7aywc62ynjcy7j2n6rnu6kt7n4.txt
