Having ruled out both environmental and genetic influences, Williams can only suggest that there are "unknown factors" that affect heredity. Although the gene-bearing chromosomes duplicate themselves precisely in each new cell nucleus after the division of a fertilized egg cell, the little-understood structures and particles in the cytoplasm of the egg cell are not symmetrically arranged. During division, Williams suggests, one new cell may not receive the same quantity of the unknown factors as another, and the result is marked differences between the four armadillos-or between identical human twins-that eventually form from the same...
