Gizmo Warm-up
Embryology is the study of the development of embryos from a single
cell to a multicellular fetus. In the Embryo Development Gizmo, you
will compare the development of different animals and learn the details
of mammalian development. To begin, be sure the COMPARE tab is
selected.
1. What do the images have in common?

Click on the check box to turn on Scale bars and labels. You are observing the zygotes, or fertilized
single cells, of five animals.
2. At this point, are you able to tell which animal is which?
Explain.
Activity A:
Comparative
embryology
Get the Gizmo ready:
● Make sure the COMPARE tab is selected and the
Developmental stage slider is on stage 1.
● Turn off Scale bars and labels.
Introduction: Comparative embryology compares embryos of different species to gain insight into how they
are related. To provide a framework for this comparison, embryologists divide this process into 23 Carnegie
stages. You will look at seven of these stages in this activity.
Question: Can we use comparative embryology to determine the relatedness of species?
1. Challenge: Drag the labels to the embryos you think they belong to. Fill in the first row of the table below
with your guesses. Then, move the Developmental stage slider one position to the right, to Carnegie
stage 4. Rearrange your labels if necessary and fill in the next row of the table. Continue until you get to
stage 23. Don’t turn on the Reveal answers check box until the end. (Note: Your guesses may change as
you go through the stages. Don’t worry, they won’t be graded - this is just for fun!)
