Human Genetics

Genetic Development is the process by which an organism’s genetic information guides its growth, development, and differentiation from a single fertilized cell into a fully formed individual. It involves the regulation of gene expression at various stages, ensuring the activation or silencing of specific genes at the appropriate times. Key elements of genetic development include embryonic development, where genes control tissue and organ formation, cell differentiation, where specialized cells arise through specific gene activation, and gene regulation, where transcription factors and epigenetic modifications manage the timing and location of gene expression.
