Morphogenesis (from the Greek morphê shape and genesis creation) is one of three fundamental aspects of developmental biology along with the control of cell growth and cellular differentiation.
Morphogenesis
[Gr. morphe - shape, form; genesis - origin, descent]. The development of form and structure in a cell or aggregation of cells.
morphogenesis
[Gk. morphe, form + genesis, origin]
The development of body shape and organization during ontogeny.

morphogenesis - creation of form or structure during development.

morphogenesis
The development of body shape and organization during ontogeny.
morphogenesis Development of the architectural features of organisms; formation and differentiation of tissues and organs.
- cellular morphogenesis during differentiation
- skeletal development
- patterning of blood vessels

Apoptosis: The genetically programmed death of cells at specific times during embryonic morphogenesis and development, metamorphosis, and during cell turnover in adults including the maturation of T and B cells of the immune system.
Originating in embryology, modern developmental biology studies the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation, and "morphogenesis," which is the process that progressively gives rise to tissues, organs, and anatomy.
a factor in the control of morphogenesis in the early embryo.

Helper phage
A phage that is introduced into a host cell in to provide functions needed for replication, morphogenesis, or packaging of a mutant (defective) phage.
Helicases
Proteins that unwind the DNA double helix.
Teratogens are non-genetic factors that interfere with normal embryonic and fetal differentiation and morphogenesis. They are not mutagens. Mutagens act randomly on all DNA and do not produce one specific genotype.
Likewise, defects in Drosophila eye morphogenesis occur upon reggie overexpression in mutant flies.
