Developmental Biology
Definition of Developmental Biology as it relates to Science, Life Science, Paleontology
Developmental biology is the scientific study of how embryos grow and develop from fertilization to adulthood, encompassing both vertebrate and invertebrate species. In the context of paleontology, developmental biology can help us understand the evolutionary history of various organisms by studying their developmental processes and comparing them with those of modern relatives. By examining fossilized embryos and other developmental stages, researchers can gain insights into the morphological changes that occurred over time, as well as the ecological and environmental factors that may have influenced these changes. In this way, developmental biology contributes to our understanding of the broader categories of science, life science, and paleontology by shedding light on the processes and mechanisms underlying evolutionary change.
