Complex Model of Development

A graphical representation of genomic regulation in the complex model of development. 

The cytoplasm represents the rest of the cell and it contains the products produced via the activation of any and all of the operons (in the genome). The state of the cell (or its type) is determined at any time during development by the mix of protein products available within its cytoplasm. In addition, the proteins within the cytoplasm of a cell determine the next set of operon activations in the genome.
