    This document provides an overview of developmental biology and introduces several key topics studied within this field. It discusses how developmental biologists study questions related to cell differentiation, growth, pattern formation, and the development of reproductive cells. It also explores four areas that contribute to the study of development: comparative embryology, evolutionary embryology, teratology, and mathematical modeling. Finally, it poses several questions within each of these topics to highlight the types of mechanisms and principles developmental biologists investigate.

    Developmental Biology

    An Introduction

    Animal Development

    How has the study of


    development changed?

    Animal Development

    What kinds of questions are


    developmental biologists asking?

    Animal Development
    How does the
    same genetic
    information result
    in different types
    of cells?

    Animal Development

    How is cell division regulated?

    Animal Development

    How do cells form ordered structures?

    Animal Development

    How are reproductive


    cells set apart?

    Animal Development

    How do changes in
    development create new
    body forms and what
    changes are possible?

    Animal Development

    How do each of these contribute to the study


    of development?

    comparative embryology
    evolutionary embryology
    teratology
    mathematical modeling

    Comparative Embryology

    Epigenesis
    versus
    preformation

    Comparative Embryology

    How does the concept of germ layers support epigenesis?


    How does the concept of induction fit in here?

    Comparative Embryology
    What principles did
    von Baer articulate
    with respect to vertebrate
    development?

    Comparative Embryology

    General features of large group of animals


    appear earlier than specialized features of
    smaller group

    Less general characteristics develop from more


    general

    Comparative Embryology

    A particular type of embryo, instead of passing


    through adult stages of a lower form, departs
    more and more from it.

    Embryo of higher animal is only like early


    embryo of lower animal.

    Comparative Embryology

    How have fate maps


    contributed to our
    understanding of
    development?

    Evolutionary Embryology

    How have observations of embryos contributed to our


    understanding of evolutionary relationships?

    Evolutionary Embryology
    Why is the distinction between analogous and
    homologous structures important?

    Teratology
    How are malformations different from
    disruptions?

    Mathematical Modeling

    Whats the difference between isometric and


    allometric growth?

    Figure 1.20(1) Reaction-diffusion


    System of Pattern Generation

    Figure 1.22 Pigment patterns of zebrafish


    homozygous for the wild-type allele (A) and for three
    different mutant alleles (BD) of the leopard gene
