The Cell's Plan for Time and Place
Just as a particular plan is followed in a building's construc-
tion, so too do the cells follow a particular building plan. For the for-
mation of an organism, however, a time plan is also needed to
determine what is to be done when, and in which order.
If there is no determination of when and where to start con-
struction, or when each part should be assembled one by one, then
even the best plan is useless.
We know that it's necessary to construct a building in basic
stages: Once the walls go up, then the roof can be put in place. But
we cannot proceed to plastering the walls before installing the elec-
trical wiring and water pipes, so while the walls are being erected,
it's necessary to leave gaps where the electrical wires and water
pipes can later be placed.
Thus, besides a building plan to be followed to the letter, a
detailed timeframe is also needed.
The cells that will build a human being need similar planning.
But almost nothing is known about which part of the plan is fol-
lowed before any other. As yet, biologists have not determined
