Document Summary

Development: a series of changes in the state of a cell, tissue, organ or organism that gives rise to the structure and function of living organisms. Developmental genetics: aimed at understanding how gene expression controls the process of development. Determined: when cells are destined to become a particular cell type. Differentiation: the cells morphology and function have changed permanently into a highly specialized cell. Pattern formation: at the cellular level, the body pattern is due to the arrangement of cells and their differentiation. This coordination leads to the formation of a body with a particular pattern. The adult body pattern is organised along 3 axes: the dorso-central axis, the anteroposterior axis and the right-left axis. Positional information: for an organism to develop the correct morphological features, each cell type based on its position relative to other cells. Each cell receives positional information that provides it with instructions on where to go and what type of cell to become.
