Destroying one half of a 2 cell stage Xenopus embryo and subsequent loss of half the embryological structures
Separation of sea urchin blastomeres resulting in individual pluteus larva development

The development of sex and gender is a good example of a developmental cascade because:
Group of answer choices
Although having an X and a Y chromosome at conception typically leads to the development of testes during prenatal development, this may not lead to typical male genitalia if certain hormones are present later in development
Two people may have the same gonads early in prenatal development but end up with different external genitalia and gender identities as a result of differences in the prenatal environment
All of the options listed here are correct
Having two X chromosomes at conception typically leads to the development of ovaries during prenatal development, which typically leads to high levels of estrogen in puberty, which typically leads to a female gender identity in adulthood
Each of the following developmental genetics concepts or processes match with definition, explanation, or example of that concept/process. NOTE: there are extra, redundant answers - please do not use them.

If cells are transplanted from their normal region in an embryo to a different region in a recipient embryo, such cells will alter their fate, but not their specification. Cell fate map describes the allocation of cells to the germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm, whereas specification describes the exact tissues that each cell will ultimately become. The fate map of an embryo does not change during development -- the fate map of an egg is the same as the fate map of a late blastula -- whereas the specification map of an embryo changes continually as the embryo's development proceeds. The fate map of a cell is determined by labelling that cell and following it during normal development, whereas the specification state of a cell is determined by culturing a cell in an artificial medium and observing what tissues form from it.arrow_forward

- There are 6 major events in fertilization. Discuss the process of fertilization or conception, with emphasis on the sperm-egg interaction. Egg-binding proteins on the sperm cell surface bind to molecules on the egg cell membrane. What happens to the chromosomes of the sperm and egg? The sperm cell membrane fuses with the egg plasma membrane, allowing the sperm nucleus and centriole to enter the egg cytoplasm. What is the purpose/role of the centriole during fertilization? The final event would be when the egg and sperm pronuclei migrate toward each other in preparation for syngamy.

- There are 6 major events in fertilization. Discuss the process of fertilization or conception, with emphasis on the sperm-egg interaction. Proteins on the sperm plasma membrane bind to ZP3 molecules within the zona pellucida of the egg. Why is this event important? Zona binding triggers the acrosome reaction, in which the sperm plasma membrane fuses with the outer acrosomal membrane, causing exocytosis of acrosomal contents. What is in the "acrosomal content"? Acrosomal enzymes begin to dissolve a hole in the zona pellucida. This enzymatic degradation, accompanied by rapid sperm tail beating, moves the sperm through the zona. Where does the sperm intend to reach?arrow_forwardARRANGE THE FOLLOWING EVENTS IN CORRECT SEQUENCE from 1-13: Penetration of the zona pellucida Cortical reaction 1st cleavage Acrosomal membranes rupture, and release their enzyme contents Penetration of the corona radiata Depolarization of egg membranes Migration of cortical cytoplasm to form gray crescent Sperm attach loosely on the zona pellucida Zona reaction Oocyte completes meiotic division ZP3 tenaciously binds acrosome-intact sperm Release of Ca+2 in egg cytoplasm from its bound state Amphimixisarrow_forwardWhich of the following mechanisms could negatively impact embryo development in humans? a mutation in a master regulator transcription factor needed for prefrontal cortex cell formation the introduction of a toxin that alters the genetic regulatory cascade for ovary development proper functioning of morphogens a failure of apoptosis to target the cells that formed "webbing" between the fingers and toes A, B, and D Which of the following likely has the most Hox genes?
