Detailed explanation-1: -Morphogenesis is a biological process that causes a tissue or organ to develop its shape by controlling the spatial distribution of cells during embryonic development.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term morphogenesis generally refers to the processes by which order is created in the developing organism. This order is achieved as differentiated cells carefully organize into tissues, organs, organ systems, and ultimately the organism as a whole.

Detailed explanation-3: -morphogenetic. adjective. mor·pho·ge·net·ic-jə-ˈnet-ik. : relating to or concerned with the development of normal form or structure especially as controlled by the growth, differentiation, and movement of cells and tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -Morphogenesis is responsible for bringing cell populations together for new inductive interactions and for building complex, three-dimensional structures such as hearts, limbs, lungs, and eyes out of simple epithelial sheets and mesenchymal cell masses.

Detailed explanation-5: -Morphogenesis is the unfolding of form and structure. Unfolding refers to the differentiation of undifferentiated (unprogrammed) cells and the organization of these differentiated cells into tissues (histogenesis), organ systems (organogenesis), and a functional organism (embryogenesis).
