If you're going to assert that it's an objective quantity extant in DNA, then produce for me an information. You can't, though, because information isn't present in DNA-Science magazine and some Harvard scientists disagree with you,
"When it comes to storing information, hard drives don't hold a candle to DNA. Our genetic code packs billions of gigabytes into a single gram. A mere milligram of the molecule could encode the complete text of every book in the Library of Congress and have plenty of room to spare. All of this has been mostly theoretical—until now. In a new study, researchers stored an entire genetics textbook in less than a picogram of DNA—one trillionth of a gram—an advance that could revolutionize our ability to save data............. DNA chips are now the storage medium with the highest known information density, the researchers report online today in Science. " http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2012/08/d...hard-drive
Listen... if you're going to misunderstand what's being said to you this badly, there's little point in continuing. "Information" is not an objective quantity, it is a means of measuring conceptual quantities: it requires a mind to compile and decode it, but not a mind to instill it, not necessarily. As I've pointed out before, information can be derived from literally anything (the example I used was rocks, I believe) but that information merely refers to those definitional things about the rock that we can learn after the fact. My point has always been that, while DNA can contain information, that information is borne out through minds compiling the predictable chemical reactions that comprise DNA into a readable form, and not a literal ingredient in DNA.
My point is that you're misusing the term information, as you've misused a bunch of other important terms, not that the term itself doesn't have some important role to play in the study of biology.
