Kroppsformen som den kommer till uttryck genom den genetiska kontrollen. Kluster av homeotiska gener kontrollerar kroppsdispositionens och kroppsdelarnas morfologi. Olika kroppsmönster kan uppstå till följd av förändringar i genantal, genreglering eller genfunktion. Ett begrepp inom evolutionsgenetik. (Se Nature 376(1995):nr 6540:479-485)
The processes occurring in early development that direct morphogenesis. They specify the body plan ensuring that cells will proceed to differentiate, grow, and diversify in size and shape at the correct relative positions. Included are axial patterning, segmentation, compartment specification, limb position, organ boundary patterning, blood vessel patterning, etc.
