Developmental biology

"Views of a Fetus in the Womb", Leonardo da Vinci, ca. 1510-1512. The subject of prenatal development is a major subset of developmental biology.

Developmental biology is the study of how organisms grow and develop.

Modern developmental biology studies the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation and morphogenesis.[1] These are the processes which turn a zygote into an adult animal.

  1. Morphogenesis gives rise to tissues, organs and anatomy.
