Question

multiple cholce question
during development, an organism goes through dramatic changes in shape and form known as:
○ differentiation
○ morphogenesis
○ ectopic pregnancy
○ growth

Explanation:

• Differentiation: Refers to cells becoming specialized in structure and function, not overall shape - form changes of the organism.
• Morphogenesis: Directly pertains to the biological process by which an organism develops its shape and form during development.
• Ectopic pregnancy: A medical condition where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus; not related to normal organism - wide shape - form development.
• Growth: Generally refers to an increase in size (e.g., cell number, cell volume) rather than dramatic changes in shape and form.

Answer:

morphogenesis
