This note covers the following topics: introduction to development ,
model organisms, oogenesis, fertilization and cleavage, gastrulation,
neurulation, teratogens and signaling, drosophila pattern formation, c elegans
cell lineage and plant development.
This noteaims to enable you to appreciate and understand
some of the universal molecular and cellular events and processes that occur as an animal develops and
a sperm into an adult organism. Topics covered includes: Gametogenesis,
Fertilization and Cleavage Formation in Animals, Gastrulation, Invagination and
Organogenesis Formation, General Embryology.
Developmental biology is the study of the process by which animals
and plants grow and develop. This note explains the encompasses the biology of
regeneration, asexual reproduction and metamorphosis and the growth and
differentiation of stem cells in the adult organism.
