The 62 pages that link to Embryonic development, each with the reason it gives.

• ApoptosisRelated: Apoptosis removes selected cells to sculpt structures during development.

• ParthenogenesisNarrower topic: Parthenogenesis is a route into embryogenesis that omits fertilization.

• Hair follicleRelated: Follicles arise through signaling between embryonic epidermis and underlying mesenchyme.

• Evolutionary developmental biologyNarrower topic: It is the developmental process whose evolutionary changes the field investigates.

• VitalismNarrower topic: Vitalists treated the coordinated formation of an embryo as evidence of nonmechanical organization.

• MitosisRelated: Repeated mitotic divisions expand the cell population during early development.

• Amniotic eggNarrower topic: The membranes sustain development outside the aquatic environment used by many embryos.

• External fertilizationRelated: Externally fertilized embryos often develop outside parental bodies, exposed to surrounding conditions.

• OntogenyBroader topic: It covers ontogeny’s earliest stages, when the body plan and major tissues take shape.

• AnimalRelated: Animal life cycles typically begin with development from an embryo.

• ChemotaxisRelated: Chemotactic guidance helps position migrating cells during tissue formation.

• IncubationNarrower topic: Incubation regulates the conditions under which this developmental process proceeds.

• OrganogenesisNarrower topic: Organ formation is one stage within the broader development of the embryo.

• PrecocialityRelated: Precociality depends on completing more sensory, muscular, and skeletal development before emergence.

• Congenital disorderNarrower topic: Many major structural abnormalities originate during this early developmental stage.

• Wnt signaling pathwayNarrower topic: Wnt cues help establish body patterns and guide cell fate during development.

• Cell migrationNarrower topic: Cell migrations place progenitors into the tissues and structures of the developing body.

• MorphogenNarrower topic: Morphogen gradients operate within developing tissues as their spatial organization emerges.

• MorphogenesisNarrower topic: Morphogenesis is a central part of the broader course of embryonic development.

• TeratologyNarrower topic: Teratogenic effects arise when development is disrupted during this process.

• X-inactivationRelated: In placental mammals, the inactivation choice is made during early development.

• Paracrine signalingNarrower topic: Local signals help coordinate the cell fates and tissue patterns that build an embryo.

• AltricialityRelated: Altricial young complete more of their growth and maturation after this stage.

• CytokinesisRelated: Repeated cytokinesis increases cell number during early development.

• TeratogenicityNarrower topic: Rapidly forming tissues can be especially vulnerable to disruption.

• Cell divisionRelated: Repeated cell divisions expand the early embryo before cells specialize.

• Plant life cycleRelated: The zygote develops into the young sporophyte through this process.

• Programmed cell deathRelated: Programmed death sculpts structures such as digits by removing cells between developing tissues.

• Brood pouchRelated: Pouch conditions shape the environment in which retained embryos develop.

• Cell lineageNarrower topic: Cell lineages trace cellular ancestry across this larger developmental process.

• Conjoined twinsNarrower topic: The timing and pattern of early development shape where bodies remain connected.

• GestationBroader topic: This phase establishes the body plan during the first part of gestation.

• Limb developmentNarrower topic: Limb formation is one coordinated part of this broader developmental process.

• MicrosporeRelated: In culture, microspores can switch from pollen development to embryo formation.

• RetinoidRelated: Precisely controlled retinoic acid signals guide patterning and organ formation.

• Seed developmentBroader topic: It traces the zygote’s progression into the seed’s plant embryo.

• Shoot apical meristemRelated: The shoot apical meristem is established during plant embryogenesis.

• John GurdonNarrower topic: Development of transplanted eggs provided the test of whether donor nuclei remained functional.

• Giraffe coat patternNarrower topic: Giraffe coat markings emerge as skin develops before birth.

• Somatic mosaicismNarrower topic: The timing of a mutation during development shapes how widely it is distributed.

• Apert syndromeNarrower topic: The skull and digit abnormalities begin while these structures are developing before birth.

• Cellular differentiationNarrower topic: Differentiation generates the diverse cell types needed to build an embryo’s tissues.

• Christiane Nüsslein-VolhardNarrower topic: Her genetic work revealed mechanisms that organize embryos during their earliest stages.

• Fetus in fetuNarrower topic: The anomaly arises during early development, though its precise mechanism remains debated.
