"the cell does what its genetic instructions tell it to do."

Allen,

That is just one part of the puzzle - the genetic paradigm. And then you have the proteonomics, the molecular, the biochemical, signal transduction/enzymatics, network theory etc etc It's hard to attribute overriding importance to one component of a complex system such as a cell
And when we talk about such systems the hallmarks are always emergence and spontaneous self-organization and then we get into those same sticky areas
