Why is man not missing a rib today if God took one from Adam to create Eve?

If a man has surgery to remove his appendix, would you find it reasonable for his sons to be born without appendixes and his daughters to have them? This is a good example of people applying disastrous pseudoscience in order to somehow reconcile 'science' with ancient texts. It was thought for a time that men indeed have one fewer rib than women for the reason given. And then this popular belief turned out not to be true at all.
According to the narrative, Adam existed in full adult form when the rib was taken. Why not presume that Adam's genetic structure remained intact over the course of his lifetime and this structure is what he passed on? Otherwise you would need to hypothesize that the Deity for some reason decided that he made a mistake, and 'fixed' Adam's DNA to reflect his corrected form. The narrative simply states that God fashioned a woman using one of Adam's ribs; there is no assertion or implication that Adam's original form was a mistake. The narrative is not meant to reflect a 'creation correction' on the part of the Deity; it is also not meant to be a scientific treatise.
