Biological development, the progressive changes in size, shape, and function during the life of an organism by which its genetic potentials (genotype) are translated into functioning mature systems (phenotype).
Rather than taking sides in this debate, this chapter shows how it is related to some of the most crucial questions about development, such as the very definition of the word ‘development’, the spatial and temporal boundaries of development, the meaning of the historical transition from ‘embryology’ to ‘developmental biology’, and ...
A definition of development allows to delineate the domain of developmental biology as a scientific field, that is, to determine which living things and processes should be considered as subjects of developmental studies.
This key insight suggests the possibility of bringing together molecular, developmental, and evolutionary biology in one dynamic model of the phenotype. The implications of this effort for developmental psychology are explored.
Biological development, also referred to as “embryogenesis” in the earlier stages, can be generally defined as a dynamical process leading a given organism to a certain morphological state.
It turns out that “development” does not have one single, simple definition. There are multiple definitions and multiple facets to any one definition. There are also multiple, competing opinions on the various understandings of what “development” is.
