Question 1- explanation

Epithelial mesenchymal transition is an important process where, polarized epithelial cells undergo transitions and biochemical changes to gain a mesenchymal phenotype.
It is an important process in embryonic development, wound healing and metastasis.
Cancer metastasis involves EMT which helps cancer cells to migrate to different locations in the body
It is also an important process in embryonic development and gastrulation . It is involved in formation of neural crest and somites i.e vertebrae precursor cells.
It is involved in wound healing, where the morphology of keratinocytes changes to re- epithelize the wound region.
Cleavage is an early development process which only involves increase in cell number from 2 to 4 to 8 and so on.
