Describes the structure of sperm and egg involved in external fertilization and their life stages. Describes the process in which sperm enters the egg and begins cell division. Includes descriptions of issues and errors that occur with external fertilization including polyspermy and membrane depolarization.

Describes the genes involved in sex determination and gametogenesis in flies and humans, and errors that occur in gametogenesis.

Details genetic processes of invertebrate embryonic development. Describes the stages of invertebrate embryonic development and growth. Describes autonomous specification in tunicates and rotational symmetry in embryos, as well as the establishment of anterior-posterior polarity.

Describes the physical and genetic components of frog fertilization and embryonic stages. Describes rotation and polarity of frog embryo and the polarity of the blastula. Also describes epiboly and intercalation of embryonic germ layers.

Describes the genetic components of mammalian embryonic development, the stages of fertilization, and early division events. Explains the role that Hox genes play in limb development and transcriptional expression.

Describes the role that egg yolk and shell play in avian development as well as how they are formed. Also details the genetic processes involved in avian development and axis formation. Also describes stages of cell division within the embryo and formation of the notochord.

Details the genetic processes of mammalian fertilization and issues that occur with the implantation of embryos.

These are comprehensive, organised, and easy-to-read notes that cover a two-unit module consisting of eighteen lectures on developmental biology, the developing embryo, and ethics & philosophy of science. These are perfect for bioscience and animal/veterinary students as well as prospective students who need a quick recap of high school biology. I am a third-year MSc Bioveterinary Sciences student at the Royal Veterinary College, London. I have achieved a 1st ( 70%) in both my years and my fri...

Notes covering the majority of important topics discussed in Developmental Biology at an undergraduate level. Includes gametogenesis, fertilization, early development and ageing. Covers information outlined in the textbook "Developmental Biology (11th edition)" Scott F. Gilbert and Michael J. F. Barresi.
