Description
Comprehensive introduction for majors course in developmental biology or embryology. Material covered includes gene control of development, cell interections in development, organogenesis, and morphogenesis. Emphasis is on determinative events essential for subsequent processes of differentation. Discusses key experiments from primary literature. New edition features additional material on morphogenesis and organogenesis. Coverage better suited to second - and third - year students taking developmental biology: still maintains the rigor required for fourth year students.
