Development of the Human Zygote November 16‚ 1995 Hundreds of thousands of times a year a single-celled zygote‚ smaller than a grain of sand‚ transforms into an amazingly complex network of cells‚ a newborn infant. Through cellular differentiation and growth‚ this process is completed with precision time and time again‚ but very rarely a mistake in the "blueprint" of growth and development does occur. Following is a description of how the pathways of this intricate web are followed and the

Mutation may be defined as any change occurred in the DNA sequence‚ which changes the gene function regardless of the morphological or physiological results. It is permanent‚ hereditary and ruled by Mendel’s laws. Such chemical changes are constant and occur during the replication stage and they can be quickly fixed; however‚ a mutation may occur if not repaired. They can affect autosomal genes (dominant or recessive) or be linked to sex chromosomes. Mutation can result in several different types

Folate deficiency‚ for example‚ appears to play a role in various malformations of the neural tube‚ but the cumulative causes of such malformations and their relative contribution are rather complex. Neural tube defects have also been linked to trisomy 18‚ numerous mutations in the genes necessary for the development of the nervous system‚ and exposure to certain epilepsy drugs. Of the different forms of neural tube defects‚ a condition known as anencephaly is arguably the most severe. Anencephalic
