Developmental Biology: Embryology Introduction

What is the branch of science that is devoted to understanding how plants and animals arise from single cells?

What is the term for the process where male and female gametes fuse to form a fertilized egg?

In which region of the embryo do cells divide more slowly due to the presence of yolk?

What is the name given to the ball or sheet of similar cells formed during cleavage divisions?

What is the term for the process where cells divide rapidly and involve no growth, resulting in daughter cells half the size of the mother cell?

What is the process that converts the original cell mass into a three-layered structure?

Which layer gives rise to the outer layer of the body's organs?

What process is responsible for the formation of extraembryonic structures for support and nutrition?

Which science studies the effects of environmental agents on embryos?

What is the process involving the formation of gametes in sexual reproduction?

What is the name given to the liquid-filled cavity in the center of the ball-shaped blastocyst?

Which region of the embryo contains the most yolk and results in slower cell division?

What term refers to the branch of science devoted to understanding how plants and animals arise from single cells?

Which process involves the conversion of a single cell, the fertilized egg, into a complex organism consisting of many anatomical parts?

During which process do male and female gametes fuse to form a fertilized egg?

What is the name given to the process that converts the original cell mass into a three-layered structure?

Which type of cells are formed from germ cells in the embryo?

What is the significance of the germ line in sexual reproduction?

Which process involves the formation of haploid (1n) chromosome set from germ cells in the embryo?

What is the developmental process that follows gastrulation and involves the formation of body organs?
