Identical twins-but not in piddling twos and threes as in the old viviparous days, when an egg would sometimes accidentally divide actually by dozens, by scores at a time. By which time the original egg was in a fair way to becoming anything from eight to ninety-six embryos-a prodigious improvement, you will agree, on nature. Two, four, eight, the buds in their turn budded and having budded were dosed almost to death with alcohol consequently burgeoned again and having budded-bud out of bud out of bud-were thereafter-further arrest being generally fatal-left to develop in peace. A few died of the rest, the least susceptible divided into two most put out four buds some eight all were returned to the incubators, where the buds began to develop then, after two days, were suddenly chilled, chilled and checked. Eight minutes of hard X-rays being about as much as an egg can stand. It took eight minutes for the tubes to go through, he told them. On a very slowly moving band a rack-full of test-tubes was entering a large metal box, another, rack-full was emerging.
We check the normal growth and, paradoxically enough, the egg responds by budding.”
concluded, “bokanovskification consists of a series of arrests of development.
