Gastrulation involves the movement of blastomeres that results in the formation of the three germ layers - ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. This stage is followed by the gastrula stage, which contains the three germ layers that will interact to form the body's organs. The germ layers will form the tissues of the body except for the germ cells, which are maintained separately. Gametogenesis involves the production of gametes through cell differentiation and maturation into sperm or oocytes. Embryonic development involves cellular processes like cleavage, morphogenesis, and fate mapping to organize cells into functional structures from a single fertilized egg.

Gastrula: Stage of embryo following •1 Mb = 1 000 000 bp gastrulation that contains 3 germ layers that •1 KB = 1 000 will interact with the organs of the body •5000bp total 3bp per AA is approx..1667 Blastomere Gastrulation ( movement to form What’s Wrong with Calculation: You don’t take 3 germ layers Gastrula into account splicing introns begone •transcript needs poly A tail/ 5” modification Germ Layer •UTR: Untranslated Reg.
