Furthermore, foraminiferal growth is often strongly allometric, and in many foraminifers the shape of the chamber changes during ontogeny. |
Selection may act to modify ontogeny and ultimately determine morphology and function. |
In the normal lymphoid ontogeny, genomic recombinations occur in a tightly regulated sequence and require an enzyme called recombinase. |
The ontogeny and dimorphic features of many early Middle Ordovician ostracode species are still poorly known. |
Discuss in detail a good example of recapitulation, showing how the stages of ontogeny parallel those of phylogeny. |
How can changes in an ancestral ontogeny be reconstructed, since the ancestors of most craniate radiations are extinct? |
