Egg Development

4. The observable traits or characteristics of an organism, resulting from the interaction between its genotype and the environment.
7. a system The system responsible for transporting blood, oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body. It includes the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood.
8. The process of shining a bright light through an egg to observe the embryo's development.
10. The small, circular area on the blastoderm that contains the embryo's genetic material.
11. The nutrient-rich portion of the egg that provides food for the developing embryo.
13. Also known as egg white, the clear, viscous fluid surrounding the yolk.
16. A device used to maintain optimal conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) for egg development.
17. The process by which genetic information is passed from parents to offspring.
18. The developing organism inside an egg after fertilization.

1. a systems The various organs and tissues that work together to perform specific functions in the body, including:
2. a system The system responsible for transmitting signals between different parts of the body and coordinating responses to stimuli. It includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
3. The genetic makeup of an organism, determined by the combination of alleles for each gene.
5. The study of heredity and the variation of inherited traits.
6. The disk-shaped structure on the surface of the yolk where embryonic development begins.
7. A newly hatched bird, especially a young chicken.
9. One of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
12. a system The system responsible for producing movement and maintaining posture. It includes skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscle.
14. The pocket of air that forms at the blunt end of an egg as it ages.
15. The process by which male and female reproductive cells (sperm and egg) unite to form a new organism.
