Introduction
All human and animal embryos go through very similar stages of early development. See also Humans and Animal Embryology.
This page introduces a few of the concepts of comparative development shared with all animals.
Meiosis
Mitosis
GastrulationBody PlanBelow is an example of what happens in a fly if these patterning signals get disrupted, putting legs from the body on the head where antenna should be located.
This fly mutation identified a common patterning gene family called Hox that establishes the head to tail axes in the embryo. This complicated picture shows how different Hox genes are expressed at different embryo levels in different species (worms, flies, mouse and human).
