biological_process
|
A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |

GO:0032501
|
multicellular organismal process
|
Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. |
|
GO:0032502
|
developmental process
|
A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. |
|
GO:0048856
|
anatomical structure development
|
The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an anatomical structure from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the structure and ends with the mature structure, whatever form that may be including its natural destruction. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. |

GO:0009653
|
anatomical structure morphogenesis
|
The process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. |
|
GO:0009888
|
tissue development
|
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a tissue over time, from its formation to the mature structure. |
|
GO:0060429
|
epithelium development
|
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an epithelium over time, from its formation to the mature structure. An epithelium is a tissue that covers the internal or external surfaces of an anatomical structure. |
|
GO:0048729
|
tissue morphogenesis
|
The process in which the anatomical structures of a tissue are generated and organized. |
|
GO:0001763
|
morphogenesis of a branching structure
|
The process in which the anatomical structures of branches are generated and organized. A branch is a division or offshoot from a main stem. Examples in animals would include blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics and other endothelial or epithelial tubes. |
|
GO:0002009
|
morphogenesis of an epithelium
|
The process in which the anatomical structures of epithelia are generated and organized. An epithelium consists of closely packed cells arranged in one or more layers, that covers the outer surfaces of the body or lines any internal cavity or tube. |
|
GO:0061138
|
morphogenesis of a branching epithelium
|
The process in which the anatomical structures of a branched epithelium are generated and organized. |
