Developmental Biology and Ecology

Pupa is a stage of insect development, not embryonic development.

Embryogenesis is the process by which an organism changes from a single-celled zygote to a multicellular adult.

Neuroectoderm is a specialized part of the ectoderm that gives rise to the nervous system.

Migration is the process by which cells move from one location to another during development.

Differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized in structure and function. It is not a type of cell division.

Ecology is the study of the interactions between organisms and their environment.

Ocean is not a type of ecosystem. It is a large body of salt water.

Adaptation is the process by which organisms adapt to their environment.

Learned adaptation is not a type of adaptation. It is a type of behavior that is acquired through experience.

Competition is the process by which organisms compete for resources.

Amensalism is not a type of symbiosis. It is a type of interaction in which one organism is harmed and the other is unaffected.

Evolution is the process by which organisms change over time.

Mutation is not a mechanism of evolution. It is a source of genetic variation.

Speciation is the process by which new species are formed.

Adaptive radiation is not a type of speciation. It is a pattern of evolution in which a group of organisms rapidly diversifies into a variety of forms.
