    The document describes the key stages of animal development from fertilization through tissue specialization. Ovaries and testes produce gametes - eggs and sperm respectively. When an egg and sperm fuse, they form a zygote, which undergoes cleavage through mitotic cell division to become a blastula. Gastrulation involves major cellular reorganization into germ layers, and organ formation follows with specialized cells. Tissues then further differentiate within organs during tissue specialization.

    Major cellular reorganization Sets of cells become specialized
    into 2 or 3 tissue (germ) layers. Cells within organs rearrange
