Chapter 10, Problem 7SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: A set of regulatory genes that function together to organize the formation of body pattern during the early development is called as homeotic genes. Homeotic proteins either stimulate or suppress the genes, which may lead to the dislocation of the body parts. These genes code for the transcription factor that has a region called homeodomain and are called as Hox genes that are mostly found in vertebrates.

2.Corepressor
3.Enhancer
4. Inducer
5.Transactivator
I am confused about how stem cell transplants works. If you put a semi differentiated tadpole nucleus in a denucleated egg cell, it’ll develop into a fully formed tadpole, but if you put a fully differentiated tadpole nucleus, it won’t (because the genes have already been expressed in a way where the cytoplasmic determinants cannot operate to the fullest). Then how come in stem cell transplants, you use adult nucleuses that are already developed and transplant them into the denucleated egg cells?
Apoptosis
O is programmed cell death.
O is a process that acts to decrease the number of somatic cells.
O frees the fingers and toes of the human embryo from their webbed structure to independent structures.
O All of the choices are correct.
