Topics in Development
• 1. totipotency: development depends on selective expression of
the whole genome present in every cell.
• 2. blastula to gastrula: comparative analysis yields insights into
the general nature of development
• 3. the three fundamental processes:
– cell division (differential rates of division are critical,
programmed cell death is significant)
– cell differentiation (changes in integration and shape are
critical; targeting cells with signals is a critical part of the
process)
– morphogenesis of tissues and organs (includes defining the
individual’s polarities, dividing the organism into segments,
and – in animals -- migration of cells in tissue origin)

Homeotic genes:the DNA sequence of the gene (blue)
contains a 180 bp sequence—the homeobox—(red) that
is highly conserved.
The homeodomain - 60 amino acids of the homeotic
gene product that remain very similar in all proteins
made by homeotic genes.

Evolutionary changes in the timing of homeobox genes
yield morphological change.

Another representation of the sequence of homeotic gene
expression in an arthropod.
Notice the continued prominence of Antp, Ubx, and Abd
paralogs.
Timing of expression of the homeobox genes Antp, Ubx,
and AbdA. Fading lines indicate weaker expression later
in development.
Number of homeobox paralogs increases in arthropods.
