    study of how organisms grow and develop from a single cell

    Developmental Biology is the scientific study of how organisms grow and develop from a single cell (like a fertilized egg) into a fully formed individual. This field examines the genetic, molecular, and cellular processes that guide the formation of tissues, organs, and overall body structure. It is closely related to Embryology, which specifically focuses on the early stages of development in embryos.
