Modern developmental biology studies the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation and "morphogenesis," which is the process that gives rise to tissues, organs and anatomy.
Embryology is a subfield, the study of organisms between the one-cell stage (generally, the zygote) and the end of the embryonic stage, which is not necessarily the beginning of free living.
During the second half of the 20th century the types of molecules involved in embryonic development were identified.

 Striped Mud Turtles
Mud turtle eggs can undergo a diapause period, especially those laid in the fall.
A period of chill temperatures followed by a warming may be required to end the diapause and allow development to begin again (Ewert and Wilson, 1996), which can make artificial incubation more difficult.

 Baja Seafaris - Sail Boat Charters in La Paz, Mexico
When we were there, we saw the new pups but the big bull males were there and mating would have occurred recently.
This synchronization of mating and birthing is accomplished by a trick called 'embryonic diapause'.
As soon as they mate, the egg is fertilized and starts to divide, but the development of the new embryo is arrested at an early stage (goes into diapause) and it does not start growing again until about 8 months before the next mating season (about 4 months from now).

 Kangaroo at exZOOberance!
After the pouch offspring is more mature and is able to leave the mother’s pouch (up to six or seven months later), the blastocyst resumes development and soon emerges from the womb and moves into the now empty pouch.
This reproductive feature, called embryonic diapause, enables kangaroos to care for up to three litters simultaneously during desirable conditions: an older, weaned offspring still under the mother's care, another maturing in the pouch, and a third in suspended development in the uterus.
Should adverse conditions cause the weaned young to die, other offspring are still available for rearing.
