Abstract
A new genetic mechanism is proposed to explain the evident order seen in embryonic development. This theory postulates control DNA, a set of genetic elements activated in a specific sequence, one at a time. With each cell division, control of gene expression passes to the next control unit in the series. The complete series of control units would constitute the encoded (and inherited) development program of an organism.Mesh：
