Document Summary

Biol 303 study question lecture set 1. Development is the process of progressive and continuous change that generates a complex multicellular organism from a single cell. Development occurs throughout embryogenesis, maturation to the adult form, and continues into senescence: define: Gamete: a specialized haploid male or female reproductive cell through which sexually reproducing parents pass chromosomes to their offspring; a sperm or an egg. Zygote: a fertilized egg with a diploid chromosomal complement in its zygote nucleus generated by fusion of the haploid male and female pronuclei. Pronuclei: the haploid nucleus of a sperm or egg before fusion of the nuclei in fertilization. Cleavage: a series of rapid mitotic cell divisions following fertilization in many early embryos; cleavage divides the embryo without increasing its mass. Blastomere: a type of cell produced by cleavage (cell division) of the zygote after fertilization and is an essential part of blastula formation.
