Genetics: Genes, Development, and Evolution


In this video I review the 4 key stages of development of an organism: determination, differentiation, morphogenesis, and growth. I also discuss the role genes play in development or organisms and resulting divergent, parallel, or convergent evolution of species.

Time stamps:

  • Genes, Development, and Evolution: 0:00
  • Development has 4 key stages: Determination, differentiation, morphogenesis, and growth: 0:11
    • Determination sets the fate of a cell: 0:37
    • Differentiation forms specialized cells: 0:46
      • Epigenetics involves phenotype changes without DNA sequence alterations: 2:58
      • Histone modification affect accessibility of genes: 6:16
    • Morphogenesis is the development of body form via the French flag model: 13:53
      • Apoptosis or programmed cell death: 17:09
    • Cell growth: 19:07
  • Developmental-genetic toolkit are genes that control development: 21:21
    • Toolkit gene can be expressed in a different pattern: 24:04
    • Toolkit gene can acquire a new function: 25:54
  • Convergent, divergent, and parallel evolution: 26:57
