Written primarily for undergraduate biology majors but also useful for introducing graduate students and medical students to developmental biology. In addition to exploring and synthesizing the organismal, cellular, and molecular aspects of animal development, the Seventh Edition expands its coverage of the medical, environmental, and evolutionary aspects of developmental biology.

BETWEEN FERTILIZATION AND BIRTH, the developing organism is known as an embryo.
