Above are 16 artificial organisms called BioMorphs. Like all organisms, morphs have a genotype and a phenotype. The genotype of a BioMorph is an array of values that describe how its development should be carried out while the phenotype is its visual appearance.
Clicking on a morph will select it for asexual reproduction. This morph and its mutant progeny become the next generation - the ancestor morph is outlined in orange. Its offspring are all very similar to it, except for slight differences in the genotype and hence, differences in the phenotype. By selecting morphs for certain qualities in their phenotype, you can evolve a morph to resemble almost anything.
