Across
- 4. A layer of bone matrix with its closely-packed collagen fibers aligned in parallel.
- 9. The shelled container in which the fetus is laid, as in reptiles, birs, and primitive mammals.
- 10. The outer cellular layer of the mammalian blastocyst.
- 11. Youngest stage of the embryo.
- 12. Tissue formation.
- 15. A vertebrate whose embryo is wrapped in an amnion.
- 17. Consisting of storage packets of nutrients that help support the growing needs of the developing embryo.
- 19. Meaning "live" and "birth".
- 21. Where the prominent haploid nucleus resides.
- 24. Evolutionary throwback; reappearance of a lost ancestral trait.
- 26. Pertaining to eggs that contain small quantities of stored yolk.
- 27. Meaning "egg" and "birth".
- 29. A firm but flexible special connective tissue.
- 30. The course of evolutionary change within a related group of organisms.
- 32. The process of establishing the main topographical regions and body axes in an embryo.
- 33. Meaning "nerve" and "formation".
- 34. A transport form of yolk performed in the liver of the female and carried in her blood.
- 35. Changes in an organism from zygote to death, alhough often focused on events from zygote to maturity.
