C. elegans Life Stages and Embryogenesis
Description
C. elegans development follows a fixed pattern from one fertilized cell to a hatched larva and then to reproductive maturity. This nematode, or roundworm, is a useful model for studying how genes shape development and disease. Its predictable cell lineage and body structure gave researchers early insight at the electron micr...

Transcript
Caenorhabditis elegans is an anatomically small and genetically simple multicellular organism with an invariant pattern of development. Despite the fact that other organisms, like vertebrates, have more variable developmental programs, research on worm development and reproduction has yielded important insights into ...
