* '''Evo-Devo''' — The study of the relationship between evolution and development.
* '''Development (Ontogeny)''' — The process by which an organism grows and changes from a single cell to an adult.
* '''Hox Genes (Homeobox)''' — A group of related genes that control the "Body Plan" (Head-to-Tail axis) of an embryo.
* '''Gene Toolkit''' — The set of ancient genes that are shared by almost all animals (e.g., the same gene makes a fly eye and a human eye).
* '''Gene Regulation''' — The process of turning genes "On" or "Off." (Most evolution happens here, not in the genes themselves).
* '''Allometry''' — The study of the relationship between body size and shape (e.g., how a baby's head grows slower than its body).
* '''Heterochrony''' — A change in the *timing* of development (e.g., a salamander that keeps its gills as an adult).
* '''Pax6''' — The "Master Control Gene" for eye development in almost all animals.
* '''Deep Homology''' — The idea that seemingly different organs (like a bat wing and a fish fin) share the same underlying genetic "wiring."
* '''Embryology''' — The branch of biology that studies the prenatal development of gametes, fertilization, and development of embryos.
* '''Modularity''' — The idea that the body is built in "blocks" that can be changed without affecting the rest of the organism.
