Macro and Micro evolution for dummies.

[Kirbmarc]

And genes contain heritable information.

No, they simply trigger the production of proteines. A mutation changes the kind of proteines produced. No need to add "information" into this.

I'm guessing you learned about evolution through youtube clips.

It's nice how you resort to inconsequential and irrelevant name calling just because I made a typo twice.

Mutations are a mechanism of evolution and can cause losses and supposedly additions of information.

Mutation cause production of different kinds of proteines. Proteines are not "information". Phenotypes aren't "information", either. Natural selection isn't based on "information, it's based on the transmission of genotypes because their corresponding phenotype makes it possible to have offsrpings. The theory of evolution by natural selection never mentions "information", and doesn't need to do it to work.
