Ontogeny - Wikipedia Ontogeny (also ontogenesis) is the origination and development of an organism (both physical and psychological, e g , moral development [1]), usually from the time of fertilization of the egg to adult The term can also be used to refer to the study of the entirety of an organism's lifespan
Ontogeny and phylogeny - Understanding Evolution By studying ontogeny (the development of embryos), scientists can learn about the evolutionary history of organisms Ancestral characters are often, but not always, preserved in an organism’s development
Ontogeny | biology | Britannica Ontogeny begins with the changes in the egg at the time of fertilization and includes developmental events to the time of birth or hatching and afterward—growth, remolding of body shape, and development of secondary sexual characteristics
Ontogeny - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Ontogeny is defined as the changes in the phenotype of an individual during its life span, resulting from a developmental program encoded in its genes and interactions between its genotype and the environments it encounters
Ontogeny | Encyclopedia. com Ontogeny describes the entire life history of an organism from fertilization to death It includes not only embryonic and prenatal development but also postnatal growth and development
Ontogeny, Overview | SpringerLink Ontogeny is the individual’s life history and phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a lineage (Gould, 1977 2010) The recapitulation is one of the different relationships between these two types of histories
Ontogeny - Wikiwand Ontogeny (also ontogenesis) is the origination and development of an organism (both physical and psychological, e g , moral development [1]), usually from the time of fertilization of the egg to adult The term can also be used to refer to the study of the entirety of an organism's lifespan
Ontogeny vs. Phylogeny - Whats the Difference? | This vs. That Ontogeny refers to the individual development of an organism from the moment of fertilization to its mature form It encompasses the various stages of growth, differentiation, and maturation that an organism undergoes throughout its lifetime
