Animal Development

Animal development is the biological process by which a fertilized egg transforms into a fully formed organism. It involves cell division, where the single cell divides into many cells, and cell specialization, where different cells develop specific structures and functions. Throughout development, tissues and organs form, grow, and organize into the complex body of the animal. This process is regulated by genetic instructions and environmental factors, ensuring proper growth and functionality. Development begins with early stages like embryo formation and continues through growth, maturation, and eventually reproductive capability.
