Abstract
A new class of genes, called ontogenes, together with the class of Mendelian genes, form the genetic program of individual development. Functionally, the program is a set of cycles and quasicycles (spirals) executed by genes of both classes. The genetic cyclicity revealed in the living, apparently, is only a variant of the cyclicity inherent in matter in general. It has been suggested that the total cyclicity of matter is due to the way it is formed in the Universe: matter arises in the flow of cosmic energy when its laminar flow changes to a vortex one. The principle of the quasi-cycle, discovered in the work with the genetic system, was the basis for the cyclic protomodel of the Universe. The article presents its main provisions. On the basis of the provisions, the peculiarities of the organization of the living are explained. The example of the cyclic protomodel shows that biology in its development, like physics and chemistry, has reached the level of building models of a metaphysical nature.
