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: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:0040007
|
growth
|
The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell. |
|
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:0048589
|
developmental growth
|
The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell, where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the organism over time from one condition to another. |
|
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: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:0060560
|
developmental growth involved in morphogenesis
|
The increase in size or mass of an anatomical structure that contributes to the structure attaining its shape. |
|
GO:0060026
|
convergent extension
|
The morphogenetic process in which an epithelium narrows along one axis and lengthens in a perpendicular axis. |
|
GO:0003401
|
axis elongation
|
The developmental growth that results in the elongation of a line that defines polarity or symmetry in an anatomical structure. |
|
GO:0060028
|
convergent extension involved in axis elongation
|
The morphogenetic process in which an epithelium narrows along one axis and lengthens in a perpendicular axis contributing to the lengthening of the axis of an organism. |
