my toughest question in Bio section was from developmental biology (at least for me).

yes absolutely, you must know stuff like Notochord, ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm and what parts of the organism are derived from these tissues.

yea i got odd ball questions ranging from cellular to embryo level changes.

campbells text covers this section very well bc it starts at sperm/egg generation n goes through until birth.

dont forget that any animal is fair game... better know those famous Xenopus experiments!

I don't have either book (actually Cliffs should be in the mail). Can someone summarize the experiments?
