General Information
Term embryonic morphogenesis ID (Ontology) GO:0048598 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized during the embryonic phase. The embryonic phase begins with zygote formation. The end of the embryonic phase is organism-specific. For example, it would be at birth for mammals, larval hatching for insects and seed dormancy in plants.
Also Known As "embryonic anatomical structure morphogenesis"
