Developmental Biology - Understanding Genetics and Embryogenesis

Plants produce the oxygen that we need to survive, hence supporting the human race. But did you know how small yet seemingly inconspicuous insects assist with plants’ development? Throughout your studies, you will realise how complex the process is for the development of something as simple as an insect. You will learn about the different genes that give way to the fruit fly’s developmental structure and determine axes in the Drosophila embryo. This course will explain how this process occurs by providing a step-by-step case study with pictures to understand the subject area thoroughly.

Next, you will examine in great detail the development of plants and how they pollinate. You will investigate how both plants and animals share the chemical basis of legacy and genetic code interpretation. Plant development varies from that of animals in numerous and important ways. One of those differences is that plants are perpetually budding while animals commonly have a limited time of growth. You will learn how plant growth and development are steadily influenced by environmental conditions such as biotic and abiotic stress. These strains are the determinants that decide the yield and development of the crops, resulting in a food deficit and compromising the food security of the planet.

Finally, A-axis specification during Drosophila embryogenesis is a whole area of study to understand plants and animals. Scrutinising plants and animals’ primary life processes improves our intellectual life and enhances our understanding of other life processes. This research lets us know under what conditions they thrive best, how to care for them and aids scientists to observe the advantages and disadvantages of particular mutations. It is a needed area of study for cross-breeding to include traits or genes from one species or line into a new genetic background. This course is suitable for farmers, botanists, scientists and anyone with an inquisitive mind. Are you curious about how plants and animals develop? Why wait? Begin today and become more informed on how these processes work.
