Before we actually conclude with what would be the effects of toxin, let's first have a look at the basic events in embryonic development.
<br>
<br>The basic events of embrogeny are very similar in salamander and snake. After fertilization the zygote undergoes cleavage to facilitate the conversion of the single celled zygote into numerous cells with which the building of the body parts of the offspring can start. Blastulation prepares the embryo for shifting movements of the cells and gastrulation. By definition gastrulation is a phase of embryogenesis during which cell ...
