Morphogenesis

Morphogenesis is how living things grow and change. It's the process that helps make sure plants, animals, and other organisms develop the right shape and size. Morphogenesis is also responsible for making sure that all of the parts of the organism are in the right place when they are born. For example, if you are born with two arms and two legs, that's because morphogenesis worked correctly to make sure those parts of your body were all in the right places. It even makes sure the parts have the right size and shape.
