Zebrafish embryo 48 hours after fertilization. The arrows indicate four Rohon–Beard neurons. [1] Rohon–Beard cells are specialized primary neurons with mechanoreceptive properties. [2] [3] They occur during the embryonic stage of development and are found in the dorsal part of the spinal cord in fishes and amphibians.
This layer functions in protection by allowing the embryo to develop in a hypotonic solution so the cell will not burst. [5] Finally, the third set of blastomeres are the deep cells. These deep cells are located between the enveloping layer and the yolk syncytial layer and eventually give rise to the embryo proper. [1]
The Zebrafish Information Network is an online biological database of information about the zebrafish (Danio rerio). The zebrafish is a widely used model organism for genetic , genomic , and developmental studies, and ZFIN provides an integrated interface for querying and displaying the large volume of data generated by this research.

To begin transcription of zygotic genes, the embryo must first overcome the silencing that has been established. The cause of this silencing could be due to several factors: chromatin modifications leading to repression, lack of adequate transcription machinery, or lack of time in which significant transcription can occur due to the shortened cell cycles.

Diagram of stages of embryo development to a larval and adult stage. In developmental biology, animal embryonic development, also known as animal embryogenesis, is the developmental stage of an animal embryo. Embryonic development starts with the fertilization of an egg cell (ovum) by a sperm cell (spermatozoon). [1]
Embryo of Zebrafish undergoing cleavage. The blastodisc, also called the germinal disc, is the embryo-forming part on the yolk of the egg of an animal that undergoes discoidal meroblastic cleavage. [1] Discoidal cleavage occurs in those animals with a large proportion of yolk in their eggs, and include insects, fish, reptiles and birds. [2]
In seed plants, the embryo will develop one or more "seed leaves" . By the end of embryogenesis, the young plant will have all the parts necessary to begin its life. Once the embryo germinates from its seed or parent plant, it begins to produce additional organs (leaves, stems, and roots) through the process of organogenesis.
In embryology, Carnegie stages are a standardized system of 23 stages used to provide a unified developmental chronology of the vertebrate embryo.. The stages are delineated through the development of structures, not by size or the number of days of development, and so the chronology can vary between species, and to a certain extent between embryos.
