Full Description

This exam addresses evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) and its role in morphogenesis. Key theories include developmental constraints, innovations, and the evolution of form.

Evo-devo provides insights into how evolutionary processes shape the development of anatomical structures. This knowledge significantly impacts fields such as paleobiology and conservation genetics.

The exam will test the student's ability to articulate the connections between developmental processes and evolutionary theory, discussing implications for morphological diversity.

Students are encouraged to relate examples from both current and historical contexts to demonstrate the practical significance of evo-devo principles.
