About the Embryology Virtual Lab Simulation
Embryology provides evidence of relatedness between now widely divergent groups of organisms. Mutational tweaking in the embryo can have such magnified consequences in the adult, that embryo formation tends to be conserved. As a result, structures that are absent in some groups often appear in their embryonic forms and disappear by the time the adult or juvenile form is reached. For example, all vertebrate embryos, including humans, exhibit gill slits and tails at some point in their early development. These disappear in the adults of terrestrial groups, but are maintained in adult forms of aquatic groups such as fish and some amphibians. Great ape embryos, including humans, have a tail structure during their development that is lost by the time of birth.
In the Embryology simulation, you will perform experiments with the chicken and mouse model organisms. You will observe embryos in different developmental stages and use molecular biology techniques to study the limb development of vertebrates. Your goal is to identify the causes of the mysterious Liebenberg syndrome. Will you be able to figure out why the arms of Liebenberg patients look like legs?

What students think about Labster:
"A very innovative, immersive learning experience. It allows you to be more confident before going to the real laboratory. It's mind-blowing!"
Alice
Student Ambassador at Exeter Uni
"A great way to learn, because it can be very hard if you are just taught the theory - here you can try it yourself."
Ellie
Student Ambassador at Exeter Uni
"More people should know about this! Some students don't really like science and this tool is amazing to get students passionate about science by making it fun and easy to learn."

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm using Labster as part of my course. Do I need to buy a subscription?
If you are enrolled in a class and instructed by your teacher to use Labster, please make sure you use the sign-up information that has been provided by your teacher. Otherwise, your they will not be able to follow your progress and achievements, and you may need to purchase a license twice.
How many simulations will I get access to?
You will get unlimited access to all our simulations. We release new simulations nearly every month, and you can always see an overview of all our simulations in our simulation catalog.
When will my account renew?
Your subscription will renew automatically each month after the free trial is over, unless you have made a single simulation purchase.
How can I cancel my subscription?
If you would like to unsubscribe, please use this form. An automated confirmation email will be sent out to you in the next few minutes. Click the confirmation link contained in the email in order to finalize the termination of your subscription.
What are the minimum requirements for my computer?
