Developmental Biology Course Includes
Course Overview:
Developmental biology is the study of how organisms develop from a single cell to a complex multicellular organism. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the basic concepts and principles of developmental biology. The course will cover topics such as potency, commitment, specification, induction, competence, determination, differentiation, morphogenetic gradients, cell fate, cell lineages, stem cells, genomic equivalence, cytoplasmic determinants, imprinting, mutants, and transgenics in analysis of development. Additionally, the course will cover gametogenesis, fertilization, and early development, morphogenesis and organogenesis in animals and plants, and programmed cell death, aging, and senescence.
Course Duration: 10 weeks
Course Content:
Week 1-2
