Growth and Development
The process by which an organism increases in size and complexity
What is growth?
The factor that can influence an organism's traits, such as eye color, or hair
What is Genetic Factor?
the process by which a single-celled zygote develops into a multicellular embryo with specialized tissues and organs.
What is Embryogenesis?
The term for the developing organism from fertilization to gestation.
What is Embryo?
This structure is formed from the fertilized ovule in a plant.
What is a seed?
True or false: Growth in organisms occurs uniformly throughout their lifespan.
What is False?
Each year adds new growth to a tree in the form of a tree ring, known as this type of factor
What is an Environmental Factor?
Mammals and reptiles have similar forelimbs, these are known as this type of structure
What is Homologous structure?
This structure is found in fish during late embryo, but found in other animals only during early development
What are gill slits?
The protective structure that surrounds and protects the embryo inside a seed.
What is seed coat?
The type of factor that can influence the growth of plants. (ex. sunlight, and water)
What is Environmental factors?
True or false: Genetic factors always determine an organism's traits, regardless of environmental influences.
What is False?
True or false: the process of gastrulation occurs during embryogenesis in all animals
What is True?
The process of an organism developing from a single-celled zygote to a fully-formed individual.
What is Embryological Development?
The early stage of growth for a seed before it sprouts
What is germination?
The process in which there are distinct stages of development (ex. caterpillars)
What is Metamorphosis?
Pollution can negatively impact the growth and development of organisms in an ecosystem, known as this kind of factor.
What is an Environmental Factor?
The structure in embryo that develops into the face and neck of the organism.
What are Pharyngeal arches?
This stage of development comes after the embryonic stage of development but before birth.
What is Fetal stage?
This structure in a seed stores food reserves for the developing embryo.
What is Cotyledon?
The process in which cells multiply and divide.
What is Mitosis?
Genetic engineering can intentionally manipulate growth of organisms, known as this kind of factor
A structure found in two different embryos that develop to become different species share a _______.
What is a common ancestor?
The fluid-filled sac that surrounds and protects the developing fetus.
What is Amniotic sac?
The term for the formation of a new plant from a single parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
