1. ontogenesis

   Ontogenesis is the development and growth of an individual organism from its earliest stage to its mature form. It includes all physical, biochemical, and physiological changes and transformations that occur during the organism's life cycle, such as embryonic development, metamorphosis, and aging. These changes are usually guided by genetic information and influenced by environmental factors.
