This course will focus on the development of vertebrates and invertebrates from fertilized egg to adult. It will examine fertilization, cell differentiation into tissues and organs, regulation of cell growth, and transmission of developmental information to the next generation. Throughout, the course will emphasize the evolutionary mechanisms that have shaped developmental patterns in animals.
