Hey there
I had an Idea . I was sitting in my mol cell bio lecture learning
about this paradox that shows that some creatures in the same class have
larger genomes than others. I was thinking with all that "junk" DNA does
that make the creature better able to handle new conidtions. I mean might
all of that junk DNA be coding for genes that are "latent" (to be used in
time of need) or more aptly to have their effects expressed in time of need?
Please has anyone come up with any Idea of this nature.

P.S. My instructor said that it was probably a question of tracking
evolution and ecology and genetics which sounds like a heck of a job.
