Abstract

Symmetry transformations are fundamental phenomena in the development and evolution of multicellular animals. Symmetry transformations at the cellular level during oogenesis and early development determine the basic axes of the future body, whereas the scale of these transformations is reduced in further development. In addition to the classical symmetry types, such as rotational (radial), mirror (bilateral), and translational symmetries, characteristic of biological processes is scale symmetry (self-similarity symmetry). The chaos is growing during fractal morphogenesis and other manifestations of fluctuating asymmetry. Biological symmetry and other variants of morphofunctional iterations are an effective way of morphogenesis via iteration of genetic programs.
