Abstract

The accurate reading of two variants of genetic informatio n is mandatory to perform the ontogenetic program in highly organized multicellular organisms. Physicochemical differences between different portions of the cytoplasm of an egg are insufficient to discriminate these variants. A.A. Ivanov has shown that the formation of differences in the 13C isotope content of the DNA copies at early embryological stages is essential for the successful completion of development. Consideration of this fact and the fifth fundamental interaction (the interaction of the spins of macroscopic objects) sheds light on the tremendous delay of the Cambrian explosion.
