Question
Chapter 42, Problem 3SQ
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: The process where the zygote undergoes several changes to form a youngling is known as development. During the development, the regulated gene expression takes place. As a result, the morphogens are produced that regulate how the organism should develop into a youngling.
