Chapter 43.2, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The formation of identical twins from a single cell taking place in the mammals but not in most invertebrates.
Introduction:
The mass of small cells with a cavity filled with fluid is called as the blastocoel, which forms after the cleavage patterning of the developing zygote. The cells of the blastocoel are referred to as the blastomeres and each blastomere has a predetermined fate. Regulated and autonomous specifications are the two major kinds of mechanisms that aid in the establishment of the fates of the blastomeres.
