Definition
- DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY IS the science that studies the mechanisms of development of animals. Some would also include the development of plants within its scope, but as mechanisms differ very substantially between animals and plants, in practice the term developmental biology is usually used to refer only to animal developmental biology.The subject represents a fusion between three traditions of 20th—century biological science.
