genetic development

Genetic development refers to the process by which the genetic information encoded in an organism's DNA influences its growth and development. From the moment of fertilization, genes guide the formation of cells, tissues, and organs, determining traits such as appearance and function. This process is influenced by both genetics and environmental factors. Throughout an organism's life, genes can be turned on or off, impacting how it adapts and responds to its surroundings. Ultimately, genetic development plays a crucial role in shaping not just individual organisms, but also the diversity of life on Earth.
