Product Description

This work comprises the entire gamut of animal developmental biology, ranging from gametogenesis to senescence and cell death, and includes chapters on: fertilization; cleavage; gastrulation; organ formulation and foetal membranes; experimental embryology; developmental processes after embryogenesis; and environmental regulation of animal development. Development genetics of Drosophila also finds a spot in the book. Some of the new topics discussed are cryopreservation of the embryo and hormone technology related to birth control. The contents of many chapters integrate descriptive embryology with modern concepts in developmental biology. The book should be useful to both students and teachers in the specific subject of developmental biology as well as life sciences in general.
