First sentence: The central theme of developmental biology has been to understand how the fertilization of a single cell, the egg, gives rise to a complex organism.
Description: "In an age when advanced molecular and generic tools allow studies in various systems, amphibian metamorphosis still offers perhaps the most accessible model for the study of postembryonic organogenesis and mechanisms of hormonal regulation during vertebrate development.

Amphibian Metamorphosis: From Morphology to Molecular Biology integrates findings from the most recent research with earlier observations, providing molecular and mechanistic insights into the signal transduction pathways underlying tissue-specific transformations during metamorphosis.".

"Amphibian Metamorphosis: From Morphology to Molecular Biology is a unique and invaluable resource for professionals and aspiring professionals in developmental biology, molecular biology, cell biology, evolutionary biology, and endocrinology."--BOOK JACKET.
