Abstract
Evidence pointing toward the synthesis of families of molecules within the organism is discussed. This view has suggested the hypothesis that a limited randomness of molecular biosynthesis in the individual organism confers a selective advantage upon the organism. This advantage is due to the production of some superior molecules, and to the versatility which is provided. The probability that a limited diversity of synthesis within the individual organism leads to related molecules in organisms of different types is also suggested.
