Chapter 50, Problem 3TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The fertilization of egg cells by sperm cells results in the formation of a zygote. This zygote develops into a complete organism by undergoing various developmental processes. These processes are mainly controlled by genes. Under some circumstances, these processes can be affected by environmental conditions.
