Skills to be acquired in this module

Upon successful completion of this course, students

  • know the fundamental problems organisms share in development
  • know the common basic steps of ontogenesis after comparing the life cycles of different species (both vertebrates and invertebrates)
  • know the fundamentals of the genetic control of cell-fate specification, morphogenesis, and organogenesis
  • know the principles of gene regulatory networks in development and are able to explain examples
  • are able to explain and discuss mechanisms of development across taxonomic groups and questions about the evolution of developmental mechanisms
