the proposal that a morphogen made at a localized source and removed at a sink forms a stable concentration gradient by diffusion across a field of cells.

In developmental biology, source-sink model of morphogen gradients refers to the proposal that a morphogen made at a localized source and removed at a sink forms a stable concentration gradient by diffusion across a field of cells. This meaning comes from Crick (1970) in Nature.[1]
