Genesis and acid/base.
Perhaps the enigmatic etiology of cell specialization ultimately leading to organogenesis can be explained by the unusual combine application of some common mechanisms. Perhaps the combination of control of variable pH through compartmentalization, dialysis/diffusion gradients, and an electrophoresis plane impacts cells in zones causing the developmental patterns. Possibly pH is even manipulated at times to change the charge on molecules in order that attraction of opposite charges can be utilized.
