Looks at the impact of advances in genetics on our understanding of the development of multi-cellular organisms and also the older problem of morphogenesis -the appearance of organized structure within a range of sizes from the cellular organelle to the elephant.
Focusing on contemporary theories of embryology, this work uses the bird embryo as a key example to explore developmental processes. Originally published in 1952, it provides insights into the biological mechanisms underlying embryonic growth and formation, making it a significant resource for understanding early developmental stages in avian species.
