Compare and contrast the roles of cell division and morphogenesis in the development of an animal. What will be an ideal response?


Cell division results in an increasing number of cells, which causes the organism to increase in size.
Morphogenesis is the process by which those cells become progressively organized into the various
tissues and organs of the body. Morphogenesis occurs via pattern formation, the sequence of events
that involve cell signaling, changes in cell shape, cellular movement, interactions with the extracellular
matrix, and apoptosis
