‘Since this field of biogenesis is not available to us, we shall do as biologists do and turn to ontogenesis.’
‘The concepts of penetrance and expressivity and also of the systemic regulation of the formation of phenotypic traits - the foundation of phenogenetics and the genetics of ontogenesis.’
‘Shepard proposes that humans go through eight stages of ontogenesis in their first twenty years of life.’
