Animal Development
Animal development proceeds from the union of an egg cell and a sperm cell to the formation of an adult organism.
The important processes involved in development are fertilization, cell division and growth, the formation of different cell types, and the shaping of structures that characterize the organism.
In this Lesson we'll explore these processes using the amphibian embryo. We'll also look at development in the human embryo from implantation to the formation of the mature fetus.
