Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pattern formation is the process in development where cells acquire different identities based on their positions in the embryo, analogous to arranging model airplane parts on a table in their eventual positions. This process involves the spatial organization of tissues and organs, similar to how your brother is organizing the parts of the model airplane.
