Development: Timing and Coordination

Mr. Anderson's video explores the regulation of timing and coordination in development, focusing on how a single zygote develops into a complex organism. The video covers seed germination, cellular differentiation, transcription factors, and the role of apoptosis and microRNA in development. It also discusses homeotic genes and their role in determining body part placement, using examples from fruit flies and other organisms.

What are the stages of development from a zygote to a fully formed organism?

Explain the concept of induction in developmental biology with an example.

What discoveries have been made regarding the role of cell death in embryonic development?

How do genetic mutations, such as the ultrabithorax mutation, affect the development of body parts?
