Response to Reviewers: RESPONSES TO REVIEWER'S #2 COMMENTS (bold: reviewer's comments) •Figure 1: o "Outer elements": This is now replaced with "external elements", as suggested. A few changes have been been made to the legend of the figure. o DNA phenotype: We agree that histones contribute to the phenotype of the gene. On the other hand, in the figure and in the text our attempt is to concentrate more specifically on the phenotype of the DNA molecule. In the figure we already identify "DNA phenotype " as "molecular constitution and epigenetic modification of DNA". We feel that extending this definition as suggested by the reviewer to chromatin/chromosome would not accurately reflect the major focus of our essay. •English expression: The text has been reviewed and some formulations have been improved. •E.F.Keller reference: We have introduced the suggested citation.
