New video posted: An Introduction to Cell Differentiation and Embryonic Development

In this video, I look at how, after the haploid sperm fuses with the haploid oocyte to form a zygote, we go from one diploid cell to over 200 different cell types and 3 times 10 to the power of 13 (3 with 13 zeros after it) cells. That is a lot of cells and the process is called cellular differentiation.
