There is a physical description of DNA in Genesis.

So, a chromosome is a rib, and uhh...taking a rib causes duplication, and furthermore, taking a rib REALLY means taking 45 ribs and duplicating one.
What Bible are you all reading? It's right there in front of your faces:
And the Lord said, "Let there be nucleotides," and it was so. The Lord proclaimed, "Let thy adenine bind with thy thymine, and likewise let thy guanine bind with thy cytosine." The Lord saw the DNA, and said that it was good. Well, not prefect, but good enough.

Rated 2 times A perfect 5! Let's see how long it lasts.
Edit: Well, seeing I decided to give it only a "4" myself, not very long.
I still remember a middle school science class a couple of decades ago where we were going over anatomy, and the teacher said that men have one fewer rib than women because God took it to make woman. Then she told us to feel our ribcages and confirm it. She got mad when I said that I could feel the same number of ribs on each side.
I love how the bible, god's gift to man, container of all knowledge (as long as you squint your eyes hard enough) to mankind, can't "reveal" anything unless science discovers it first.
Scientists: Dinosaurs existed.
Religion: We know! The Leviathan and Behemoth.
Scientists: Germs can be deadly.
Religion: We know! The bible says "wash your hands!"
Scientists: The earth is round.
Religion: We know! That 'four-corners' thing was a play on words.
Scientists: The planet wasn't created in 24 hours.
Religion: We know! God's days are longer then our days.
Scientists: We've discovered and named the human genome.
Religion: We know all about that, it's right here in genesis, see?
Funny they didn't claim the automobile, sliced bread and Suduko.
Even if God took a rib from Adam to make Eve, why would Adam's male descendents continue to have one less rib than his female descendents? After generations of Jewish males being circumcised, do they get born already circumcised? Of course not. Lamarckism was just as wrong then as it is now.
There's shoehorning a foot into shoes to small and then there's pulping the foot to make it fit a bottle. Religion always has to force that round peg into a square whole and proclaim victory.
It's all they have, reading between the lines, making up shit that isn't there and making very lame comparisions.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
