Biological Development

Biological development refers to the process by which living organisms grow and change over time. It starts from a single cell—like a fertilized egg—and involves complex steps such as cell division, differentiation (where cells become specialized), and the formation of tissues and organs. Development guides how organisms mature physically, functionally, and structurally throughout different life stages, from infancy to adulthood. This process is influenced by genetic instructions and environmental factors, ensuring the organism's growth is coordinated, adaptive, and suited to its environment.
