What is the process of gastrulation?

Answer 1

Gastrulation is a phase in embryonic development during which the single layered blastula develops into a three layered gastrula.

Gastrulation takes place after cleavage.
The cells in the blastula rearrange themselves spatially to form three layers of cells in a process known as gastrulation.

During gastrulation the blastula folds in on itself to form three germ layers :-- the ectoderm, the mesoderm and the endoderm. These give rise to the internal structure of the organism.

The endoderm gives rise to nervous system and epidermis.
The mesoderm gives rise to muscle cells and connective tissues in the body.
Endoderm gives rise to columnar cells found in the digestive system and many internal organs.

Daniel Allen

Gastrulation is the process by which a blastula, a hollow ball of cells formed during early embryonic development, is transformed into a gastrula, which has three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. This process involves cell movements and rearrangements that result in the formation of the germ layers and establishes the basic body plan of the organism.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
