Animal
Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia.

Cell cycle
The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Cell cycle · See more »
Cell migration
Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Cell migration · See more »
Chromatin
Chromatin is a complex of macromolecules found in cells, consisting of DNA, protein, and RNA.

Embryogenesis
Embryogenesis is the process by which the embryo forms and develops.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Embryogenesis · See more »
Gastrulation
Gastrulation is a phase early in the embryonic development of most animals, during which the single-layered blastula is reorganized into a multilayered structure known as the gastrula.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Gastrulation · See more »
Gene
In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Gene · See more »
Gene silencing
Gene silencing is the regulation of gene expression in a cell to prevent the expression of a certain gene.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Gene silencing · See more »
Genome
In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Genome · See more »
Histone-modifying enzymes
The packaging of the eukaryotic genome into highly condensed chromatin makes it inaccessible to the factors required for gene transcription, DNA replication, recombination and repair.

Homology (biology)
In biology, homology is the existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different taxa.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Homology (biology) · See more »
Messenger RNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Messenger RNA · See more »
MicroRNA
A microRNA (abbreviated miRNA) is a small non-coding RNA molecule (containing about 22 nucleotides) found in plants, animals and some viruses, that functions in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.

Mitosis
In cell biology, mitosis is a part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Mitosis · See more »
NC ratio
The nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio (also variously known as the nucleus:cytoplasm ratio, nucleus-cytoplasm ratio, N:C ratio, or N/C) is a measurement used in cell biology.

Oogenesis
Oogenesis, ovogenesis, or oögenesis is the differentiation of the ovum (egg cell) into a cell competent to further development when fertilized.
New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Oogenesis · See more »
Ploidy
Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for autosomal and pseudoautosomal genes.
