Question

The process by which a viable embryo is formed is called
A) embryogenesis.
B) organogenesis.
C) gametogenesis.
D) morphogenesis.
E) blastogenesis.

Accepted Answer

Embryogenesis is the process by which a viable embryo is formed as the zygote undergoes division and differentiation to form the various structures and tissues of the developing organism. Organogenesis refers specifically to the formation and development of organs within the embryo. Gametogenesis is the process by which gametes (sperm and eggs) are produced. Morphogenesis refers to the shaping of the embryo as tissues and organs take on their characteristic forms. Blastogenesis refers to the initial stages of embryonic development following fertilization, culminating in the formation of the blastula (a hollow ball of cells).
