E1Trans2 Flashcards
Analysis of similarities and differences in development, provides insight that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny
Comparative embryology
Accounts on the processes and sequential events of development, step by step account
Descriptive embryology
State the Recapitulation Theory
The development of an individual organism summarizes the development of its species. Ontogeny recaps phylogeny.
Von Baer’s law
General features appear earlier in development while specific features appear later.
Stage wherein different species appear almost identical
Phylotypic stage (stage 1)
Oviparous
Eggs develop outside mother
Viviparous
Embryo develops inside mother
Ovoviviparous
Eggs retained in mother’s body until birth
Causative factors in development, testing hypotheses by manipulating embryo
Experimental embryology
Pioneer of experimental embryology
Wilhelm Roux
Studies problems on conception and contraception
Reproductive biology
Emphasis of reproductive biology
Normal gametogenesis Transport of gametes and fertilization Reproductive endocrinology Early embryonic development Transplantation of mammalian embryo
Study of interaction chemical and physical events in development
Chemical embryology
Study of birth defects, malformations due to endogenous and exogenous factors
Teratology
Main stages in histological development
Proliferation, migration, differentiation
Genetic defects in teratology
Mutations, aneuploidy, translocation
Fetal alcohol syndrome
Malformations due to lack of cell proliferation
Phocomelia
Severely deficient or malformed limbs due to genetic inheritance, mutations, or thalidomide
Phoco - seal, melia- limb
Who cloned Dolly? Where?
Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell at the Roslin Institute
The process of creating genetically identical animals
Animal cloning
Posed the question “how are different parts of a developing embryo formed?”
Aristotle
Defined preformation
Aristotle
What is preformation?
A miniature embryo is enclosed in the germ cell and requires only time and nourishment for it to develop.
What is epigenesis?
The gradual formation of new structures and organs. From a single cell arises a multicellular organism.
