We have discussed in the previous Chap. 9 the problem of how cells can behave in accordance with their location in the whole embryo. Here they have to construct nerve tissue, there to form muscle, and over there manufacture a skeletal element. But the DNA of the nucleus does not contain information about where a cell is at a given moment.
