Chick Embryo Stages and Germ Layer Formation
Description
The chicken embryo is a useful model for studying early development. It is economical and easy to access, which makes it practical for developmental biology research. Chick embryos also develop quickly and can be used in genetic and physiological studies at the cell and molecular levels.

Transcript
Centuries of embryological studies performed on chicks have significantly advanced our understanding of vertebrate development. Widespread domestication of chickens means that their embryos are easily and affordably acquired. Additionally, the embryos develop externally and are amenable to many physical and genetic manipulati...
