Embryology is the branch of developmental biology that studies embryos and their development. It is also used to support the validity of the theory of evolution. Embryology is the classic study of morphological changes within the embryo. Aristotle is described as the first one to do such study, breaking open chicken eggs after different hours of incubation and observing the ontogeny of the chicken structures. After the 1950s, with the DNA structure being discovered by James D. Watson and Francis Crick, and the increasing knowledge in molecular biology field, developmental biology emerged as the field of study that correlates the genes and such morphological changes; in other words, which genes are responsible for each morphological change that takes place in an embryo. More than explain those morphological changes, to explain how the many different cell types of a multicellular organism arise from the single fertilized cell, the egg, is another aim of developmental biology. For more details, it is recommended the following readings: Developmental Biology; Scott F Gilbert, and Principles of Development; Lewis Wolpert.

Embryology is the study of embryos. My degree is in biology. I took embryology in college. Part of the work was creating slides using chick embryos. You had to time everything just right to get embryos at specific ages. Our professor said that if anyone left an egg in the incubator too long, he would make them eat the chick live. He probably wouldn't have done that, but no one wanted to take a chance on it.

Enbryology is the study of development of a fertilised ovum to grown up baby in humans. And a similar study in animals.

embryos are babies still in the early stages of development in the uterus the suffix ology means to study so it means the study of embryos

break down the word:
embryo=embryo, the stage of fetal development between zygote and fetus, unborn baby
ology=the study of
so therefore, embryology=the study of embryos
tada! thanks for the points. btw, try dictionary.com next time.
