the parceling of signals present in the egg cytoplasm to the cells which result from cleavage
cleavage
cell division without growth
induction
ability of one embryonic tissue to influence the development of another tissue by use of chemical signals
specialization
process by which cells become specialized in structure and function
morphogenesis
emergence of shape in tissues, organs, or an entire embryo
development
growth, morphogenesis, and specialization
homeotic genes
genes which control the overall body plan by controlling the fate of groups of cells during development
homeobox
nucleotide sequence located in all homeotic genes and serve to identify portions of the genome
chorion
carries out gas exchanges
amnion
provides protection in the form of amniotic fluid
allantois
collects nitrogenous wastes
yolk sac
provides nourishment in the form of proteins/lipoproteins
placenta
forms from the chorion and the uterine wall, allows nutrients and wastes to pass between the mother and the embryo
