Amphibia includes frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. The term amphibian loosely translates from the Greek as “dual life,” which is a reference to the metamorphosis that many frogs and salamanders undergo and their mixture of aquatic and terrestrial environments in their life cycle. Amphibians evolved during the Devonian period and were the earliest terrestrial tetrapods.

After fertilization, the zygote undergoes cleavage and forms a blastula with smaller cells. Gastrulation creates germ layers for body tissues. The Spemann organizer prompts ectoderm development into neural tissue, essential for the brain and spinal cord. The tadpole hatches as a complete structure and continues to grow by feeding, incorporating organic matter.

It highlights how meroblastic cleavage occurs in a limited cytoplasmic region, resulting in multiple nuclei and a significant yolk mass, which aids in forming a normal-sized embryo from the fertilized egg.

Hox gene clusters, which include essential homeobox genes, are pivotal in forming complex structures. While these genes have maintained their functionality over millions of years, the resulting structures vary due to species-specific genes.
