                                                          Annotations:

                                                          • This process can be problematic though. It can sometimes form molecules that are just as or more dangerous than the hydrophobic predecessors. Ex. Large molecules, once oxygenated, may become very flat. here flattened molecules may slide between base pairs in DNA and will be carcinogenic. Why hasn't this faulty trait been weened out of the population through natural selection? The answer is simple, traits are only selected during the pre-reproductive phase. Cancer is a disease that appears later in life. Therefore, it will not affect pre-reproductive populations
