Progress in Botany

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany ((BOTANY,volume 59))

Abstract

Generally, higher plants and animals generate offspring by sexual reproduction, implying that the adult individual is generated from a single fertilized egg cell, the zygote, during a complex process called development or ontogeny. One of the most fascinating questions of biology is how the diverse body plans of higher animals and plants, comprising tiny mosses as well as huge trees, small worms as well as giant whales and, yes, humans, are generated from very similar and simple beginnings, i.e. zygotes.
