Emphasizes principles and key concepts that govern the process of development in vertebrates, with some examples from invertebrate models. Examines how a single fertilized cell gives rise to hundreds of differentiated cells, how differentiated cells are organized into tissues and organs, how the growth of cells is regulated and how an adult transmits the instructions for making an organism from one generation to the next.
