Abstract

Embryo: From a Single Cell to a Complex Organism

Clara Huimingda

The embryo is a foundational stage in the development of all multicellular organisms, beginning right after fertilization and continuing through early stages of growth. The process by which the embryo forms is one of the most intricate and vital aspects of biology [1]. From a single fertilized egg cell to a complex organism with multiple systems and organs, the embryo undergoes a series of developmental milestones. This transformation is highly regulated and ensures the proper formation of the body’s structures, setting the stage for the transition into the fatal phase and, eventually, birth.
