- Explain the mechanism of the blocks of polyspermy.
- Explain the processes of cleavage, migration and differentiation and their
roles in embryonic development.
- Describe each of the structures (or cells) , and their functions, in each
embryonic stage.
- Describe results and location of events of fertilization and implantation.
- Describe the function of the embryonic membranes and the placenta.
- Define organogenesis and note the important roles of the three primary
germ layers in this process.
- Understand fundamental genetic information and be able to predict some
simple forms of inheritance using Punnett Square analysis.
