✦ Synopsis

A mechanism for the generation of the morphological left-right asymmetry in higher organisms is proposed, based on the idea that chirality at the molecular level is the primordial source for macroscopic asymmetry. This mechanism accounts for a variety of experimental results on artificial production of situs inversus and fits well with mutations in mice causing Accepted

## Abstract The body‐plan of vertebrates, while exteriorly essentially symmetric along its medio‐lateral plane, displays numerous left‐right differences in the disposition and placement of internal organs. Such left–right asymmetries, established during embryogenesis, are controlled by complex epig
