Chapter 6: Body Plans

I liked the picture on page 102 (the one that shows how humans go from being a single cell and end up as a tube) because it helps the reader understand human development. I knew that we came from a single cell, but I did not know we end up as a tube within a tube. Another thing I like about this picture was that it has labels to identify where and what everything is. Without the labels, I would be sort of lost. This chapter was fairly easy to understand, with the help of the pictures of course. I learned a lot about how we develop as an embryo and I learned about how our Hox genes are able to determine our body plan.
