Habituation and spontaneous recovery from habituation to tap were studied across development in C. elegans. Unlike adult worms, larval worms do not consistently swim backwards to tap, but reverse half of the time and accelerate forward half of the time. In adult worms, the tap response is produced b

Many biologists assume, as Darwin did, that natural selection acts mainly on late embryonic or postnatal development. This view is consistent with von Baer's observations of morphological divergence at late stages. It is also suggested by the conserved morphology and common molecular genetic mechani
In the vertebrates, programmed cell death or apoptosis frequently involves the relocalization of mitochondrial cytochrome c to the cytoplasm. This prominent role in the regulation of apoptosis is in addition to the primary function of cytochrome c in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. These
