Full Description

This exam investigates comparative developmental genetics by examining genetic mechanisms across various organisms. It emphasizes gene conservation, divergent pathways, and evolutionary adaptations.

A comparative understanding of developmental genetics is vital for revealing evolutionary relationships and the lineage-specific traits that arise during growth. It enriches the comprehension of biodiversity and adaptation processes.

The exam will assess students' ability to articulate genetic similarities and differences in developmental processes and discuss their evolutionary implications within a verbal framework.

Students should bring examples from different species to support their discussions, demonstrating the applicability of comparative approaches in developmental biology.
