(There is some controversy in molecular biology circles as to whether "junk DNA" is really "junk" just because it doesn't build proteins. It could perform a regulatory or "frame-check" function.)
Actually, I think that once the matter is further studied, scientists will discover that the "junk DNA" is not junk, but inactive DNA, waiting for a "trigger".
Sorta like that episode of Star Trek where all this DNA gets combined into a 3-D Quicktime movie?
