A person might be interested on how the DNA is encoded, like cellular contours or shape of a specific cell type that makes up a complex cellular object, it uses compacted code, in other words you will find that a small area of shape is repeated millions and millions of times, so what is encoded in the DNA? Just the smallest shape of the cellular conture and the number of times it is to be repeated. Not the same cellular contours distributed across the whole area. Let us use an example of an animals tail will only be concerned with the vertebrae bones that make up the tail. Why should there be so much encoding information for each bone when its the same shape but just smaller? So you have one genetic algorithm to make the shape of the bone and a variable for the number of times the bone is to be produced and another variable to depict that the bones get smaller and smaller in size as the next vertebrae is produced. You will find encoding algorithms like this in order to keep the DNA small in size and there have been lots of revisions to keep the DNA code small but efficient.
