Nutrient-genetic drive hypothesis of biological expression.
The cellular change from an ordered to anaplastic state occurs as a part of a normal biological process which works to increase the chance of survival of the genome. This change of state is driven primarily by changes in the micronutrient environment. The anaplastic state of cells provides a framework for dramatic changes in biological expression, and offers a means for the introduction of new species. Neoplasms are a product of this natural mechanism for survival of the genome with unfortunate consequences for the host cell population.
