This problem overlies another, namely, that the chromomere (in Drosophila) already contains an average of 50 times more DNA than is necessary to specify an average protein. However the best genetic evidence available shows that only a single gene, in the informative sense, occupies a chromomere. This raises the puzzle: what is the function of most (98%) of chromomeric DNA? If it has any function at all, it must deal only with the gene in the same chromomere, otherwise we would recognize many genes in a chromomere.

Finally, we reiterate that none of the basic information at hand negates the fact that male pattern baldness is not a disease, but a natural attribute to mature man
