What is the site of embryo development?

In mammals, the site of embryo development is the uterus.

How do you make career in embryology?

To pursue a career in embryology, you typically need a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field like biology or biochemistry, followed by a Master's or Ph.D. in embryology or a related field. Gaining hands-on experience through internships or research opportunities can also be beneficial in this field. Additionally, staying updated on advancements in the field and networking with professionals can help you progress in your embryology career.

Which type of embryos have pharyngeal slits?

all chordates - novanet

now all you guys get back to work :D

How does a new life begin?

In an organism that reproduces sexually, new life begins when a male and female sex cell come into contact with each other and the male cell fertilizes the female cell.

In mammals where does the embryo develops?

In mammals, the embryo develops with in the specialised part of the oviduct .

What is different between embryo and fetus?

An Embryo is a stage before Fetus, the Fetus is more developed than an Embryo, the stage of Birth and a baby being more developed than a fetus.

Why is EMBRyO white and not black does this mean it is a non-viable pregnancy in my mare?

Since I have to assume you are seeing an ultrasound...the answer is no...it is not a nonviable pregnancy...in early pregnancy the conceptus in a horse is a circular ball that looks black in the center because it is fluid filled...as the conceptus changes into an embryo and subsequently a fetus it be comes white because the tissue is hyper-echoic (white) as opposed to hypo-echoic (black) fluid.

How does a bear embryo develop?

The same way that a human embryo or any other mammalian embryo does.

Reason why female kangaroos can hold development of embryos?

This is called embryonic diapause. The mother kangaroo spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times, she has the ability to indefinitely "freeze" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished. It enables survival of the species.

What are embryo splitting?

The technique of embryo splitting involves removing an embryo. Individual cells from this embryo are removed and then placed into petri dishes that contain the correct nutrients and hormones for growth. Each of the removed cells now divides to form a new embryo. These embryos are then implanted into the uterus of surrogate mothers. These surrogate mothers will then give birth to identical young.

Which animals produce embryos that are born small and relatively immature and must complete their development in a pouch?

This group of animals is known as marsupials. It includes animals such as the kangaroo, Tasmanian devil, wombat, koala, wallaby, quoll, bilby etc.

What are the characteristics of a kangaroo embryo?

A kangaroo embryo is less than 2cm in length (less than an inch) when born and weighs about half a gram. It is about the size of a kidney bean. It is blind and hairless. However, this embryo makes it way from the birth canal of the mother kangaroo up to and into the mother's pouch. It then latches onto a teat inside the pouch, which then swells inside the mouth of the joey, basically securing it from falling or being jolted from the pouch.

How do fruit fly embryos and frog embryos differ from each other more than frog embryos and human embryos?

The development of a fruit fly is egg to embyro and then through three larval stages before it pupates and develops into an adult. A larva is an undeveloped worm like eating machine that in no way resembles the adult.

The development of frogs varies by species but the most well known cycle is egg to embryo to fetus which hatches as a tadpole and subsequently metamorphoses into a young frog resembling an adult.

While a good portion of a frog's development occurs after the egg has hatched the complexity of a tadpole as compared to a fruit fly larva is considerable.

The development of a human embryo occurs entirely in the mother's womb with the resulting offspring born resembling the parents.

Since both the frog and the human are vertebrates their developmental biology is significantly closer than either would be to a fruit fly.

Can being around chemicals affect a fetus?

As you should know, breathing chemicals while not pregnant is not good. Therefore, it is even worse to expose your unborn baby to harsh chemicals. Just remember, you are the life support that your baby is living on and whatever you put into your body is what also enters the body of your baby... whether it may be by eating or breathing.
