An embryo can increase its cell number without increasing
its overall size.Is this because cell growth is actively inhibited?

Cell growth in embryos refers to the process by which cells divide and multiply to form the various tissues and organs of an embryo during development. This is a crucial step in the formation of a fully formed organism.
Cell growth in embryos is regulated by a complex network of signaling pathways and genetic mechanisms. These processes work together to ensure that cells divide and differentiate at the right time and in the right location.
Yes, cell growth in embryos is actively inhibited through various mechanisms such as cell cycle checkpoints, negative feedback loops, and regulatory proteins. This helps to ensure that cell growth occurs in a controlled and precise manner.
If cell growth in embryos is not inhibited, it can lead to uncontrolled cell division and abnormal growth, resulting in developmental defects or even cancer. This is why the regulation of cell growth is crucial for proper embryonic development.
Yes, environmental factors such as nutrition, exposure to toxins, and maternal health can impact cell growth in embryos. These factors can disrupt the normal regulation of cell growth and potentially lead to developmental abnormalities.
