Genetic Analysis of Morphogenesis

  • Chapter
Genetics, Development, and Evolution

Part of the book series: Stadler Genetics Symposia Series ((SGSS))

Abstract

The biological realm is characterized by both the diversity of forms and their generative constancy. Thus, morphogenesis in evolution and in ontogeny is the paradigm of biology. During the history of biology the causal explanation of morphology has been alternating between a preformistic and an epigenetic notion of development and between internal coaptation and external adaptation as final causes in evolution.
