WHAT DOES ONTOGENESIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ontogenesis

Ontogeny

Ontogeny is the origination and development of an organism, usually from the time of fertilization of the egg to the organism's mature form. Yet, the term can be used to refer to the study of the entirety of an organism's lifespan. Ontogeny pertains to the developmental history of an organism within its own lifetime, as distinct from phylogeny, which refers to the evolutionary history of a species. In practice, writers on evolution often speak of species as "developing" traits or characteristics. This can be misleading. While developmental processes can influence subsequent evolutionary processes, individual organisms develop, while species evolve. Ontogeny, embryology and developmental biology are closely related studies and the terms are sometimes used interchangably. Recently, the term ontogeny has been used in cell biology to describe the development of various cell types within an organism. Ontogeny is a useful field of study in many disciplines, including but not limited to developmental biology, developmental psychology, developmental cognitive neuroscience, and developmental psychobiology.
