Combine Small: Certain small molecules can combine with this protein, causing it to leave the nucleic acid and thereby allowing the genes to act. In this way one small, specific molecule can control the working of a whole set of genes. Whether this same process is used in organisms higher than simple bacteria, and whether they have other, more elaborate control mechanisms, is not yet known.
If you want to combine small, regular patterns with large, bold ones, make sure that the two patterns are linked by color. If the overall colors of each pattern are close to one another on the color wheel (see p. 14), the effect will be successful.
Advances in one area are tied in with or spur advances in other areas. Seemingly isolated discoveries often combine to bring unexpected solutions to particular problems. They can be fitted together to form new wholes that are greater than the sum of the parts or lead to other unexpected innovations.
The unexpected discoveries or applications are called serendipitous.3 Effects that combine or interact are called synergistic. Too often, we underrate them. |
