The process by which living things develop organised structures.
For a mathematician, one canonical question in morphogenesis might be how a uniform sheet of embryonic skin breaks symmetry and develops zebra stripes. A biologist investigating the same problem might ask what genes are promoting and suppressing each other, and how the proteins they encode interact.
