The growth of an organism rides on a pattern of waves
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

When an egg cell of almost any sexually reproducing species is fertilized, it sets off a series of waves that ripple across the egg`s surface. These waves are produced by billions of activated proteins that surge through the egg`s membrane like streams of tiny burrowing sentinels, signaling the egg to start dividing, folding, and dividing again, to form the first cellular seeds of an organism.
