BIO413DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY

BIO413 – Developmental Biology examines the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive the formation and differentiation of organisms from a single cell to a complex multicellular individual. Topics include fertilization, embryogenesis, morphogenesis, gene regulation, and organ development in both plants and animals.

Students explore model organisms like Drosophila, Xenopus, and Arabidopsis to study patterns and processes of development. The course integrates classical embryology with modern molecular approaches, providing essential knowledge for students interested in genetics, medicine, regenerative biology, and biotechnology.
