Question

One of the amazing aspects of development is the proper placement and alignment of body parts. One of the best examples is the eye. Light is first focused by the cornea onto the lens, which bends light to a sharp focus on the properly positioned sensory cells in the back of the eye. The developmental process that is pivotal in the alignment of body parts is termed __________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Induction

Explanation:

Induction is a process that determines the development of the cells or tissue organs of the body. Induction has the power to develop a neighbor cell or tissue. Two biologists did an experiment on it that is called Spemann and Mangold. This is the famous experiment that helps in the contribution of the alignment of the body axis. The induction also is known as Lateral inhibition.  

So that the development process that is pivotal in the alignment of the body is called Induction.
