Developmental Biology
Definition of Developmental Biology as it relates to Science, Genetics, Biotechnology
Developmental biology is the scientific study of how organisms grow and develop, exploring the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the developmental processes that shape complex multicellular beings from single-celled zygotes. As part of the biotechnology field, it investigates the use of biological processes, systems, organisms, or organism parts to create technologies that improve human health, agriculture, and industrial applications. In the context of genetics, developmental biology explores how genetic information is translated into functional structures during embryonic development. By studying the intricate interplay between genes, cells, tissues, and organs, researchers in this field aim to understand the complex mechanisms governing growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis, ultimately shedding light on congenital abnormalities, regenerative medicine, and evolutionary biology.
