Abstract

The concept of heredity is expressed in terms of the theory of evolution and quantum theory, and is found to differ from current molecular biological concepts. A necessary condition for hereditary transmission is a classification process or a many-one mapping. A macroscopic physical system which represents a classification process requires a non-holonomic constraint. A molecular representation of a non-holonomic constraint requires a specific rate control process or tactic catalysis. It is concluded that a quantum theory of measurement is needed to explain enzymes as well as the reliability of biological evolution.
