Abstract

[Biomineralization is under genetic control. This follows from the identity of the mineralization pattern of parents and offspring. The glass house of a diatom mother is identical to the glass house of the daughters. Also, young mollusks have the same beautiful shells as their ancestors. Genetic diseases in organisms may produce alterations of mineralization. Missing genes may lead to large disturbances in biomineralization. Many controlled steps may be distinguished including transport processes and the central processes of mineralization.]
