To meet this difficulty I suggest for the consideration of this Congress the term Genetics, which sufficiently indicates that our labors are devoted to the elucidation of the phenomena of heredity and variation: in other words, to the physiology of Descent, with implied bearing on the theoretical problems of the evolutionist and the systematist, and application to the practical problems of breeders, whether of animals or plants.
As biologist Françcois Jacob argues in response to [Roman] Jakobson, it is wrong to confuse biological encoding with language, because unlike a human speaker or writer, the genetic code knows neither emitter nor receiver. No one ever 'wrote' the genetic codes. No one receives the genetic message.
