[Homeosis and Reliability of Reproductive Systems in Modular Organisms].

Abstract

It was observed that open growth systems of modular organisms provide for the organic unity of the processes of embryogenesis, morphogenesis, and reproduction and a wide distribution of vegetative propagation, and these peculiarities determine the topicality of detection of heterotopia in the development of structures associated with reproduction. It was established that homeotic transformations played a certain role in the development of new efficient reproductive strategies, and their wide distribution favored an increase in the reliability of reproductive systems of modular living beings.
