Flashcards on Developmental Biology
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is developmental biology?
The study of the process by which organisms grow and develop from fertilized eggs to adulthood.
What are the stages of embryonic development?
Fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, and organogenesis.
What is the role of genes in development?
Genes provide instructions for the development of an organism and control various processes.
What is metamorphosis?
The process of transformation from one life stage to another, such as a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
What are stem cells?
Undifferentiated cells that have the potential to develop into various specialized cell types.
What is the significance of tissue regeneration?
The ability of organisms to repair and replace damaged or lost tissues.
What are homeotic genes?
Genes that control the development of specific body structures and segments.
What is the role of hormones in development?
Hormones play a crucial role in regulating various developmental processes and coordinating growth.
What is the process of neurogenesis?
The generation and development of neurons in the nervous system.
What is the concept of developmental plasticity?
The ability of an organism to change its developmental trajectory in response to environmental cues.
What is the significance of apoptosis in development?
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, plays a crucial role in shaping and refining tissues and organs.
What is the process of cell differentiation?
The specialization of cells into different types with specific functions.
What are the factors influencing developmental outcomes?
Genetic factors, environmental factors, and gene-environment interactions.
What is the role of cell signaling in development?
Cell signaling pathways control various cellular processes and coordinate developmental events.
What are the different types of cell movements in development?
Epithelial cell movements, cell intercalation, cell migration, and cell sorting.
