Abstract
Relation between the level of the power metabolism and the degree of the determination of the embryos was investigated by comparison of the experimental material with theory. It was shown that the high level of metabolism promotes the change of the system to a differentiated state (i.e. leads to the limitation of tissue potency). The lowering of metabolism intensity is connected with a dedifferentiation of the tissue (or with expansion of it potency).
