T
Some are not capable of asexual reproduction. T or F?
F
some can be propagated through cutting. T or F?
T
- this is the creation of an organism from a fertilized egg
- birth to adulthood
Embryology
Slow process of progressive change
development
change in form or structure in an individual after hatching or birth
Metamorphosis
fertilized egg develop into a complete organisms
embryonic development
this is how structure changes over time
developmental biology
- mechanism whereby different sorts of cells arise
- there are more than 200 different specialized cell types in a vertebrate body
cell differentiation
cell and tissue movement that give the developing organ or organism its shape in three dimension
morphogenesis
refers to increase of size and the control of proportion between body parts
growth
the sperm and egg are highly specialized cells
reproduction
some can regenerate every part if their bodies
regeneration
development of many organisms is influenced by cues from the environment that surrounds the embryo or larva
environmental degradation
involves inherited change of development
evolution
