Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evolutionary-developmental biology, also known as evo-devo, is the study of how changes in developmental processes and pathways have led to the evolution of morphology and diversity in organisms. It focuses on understanding the genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms underlying the development of different body plans and structures and how these have changed over evolutionary time. Options A, C, and D are all related to developmental biology but not specific to evolutionary aspects.
