Question
Chapter 43.4, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The diversity of signals generated by the homeobox (Hox) genes in the anterior-posterior axis that control the differentiation of the organs and tissues.
Introduction:
The events taking place during the development of the embryo are highly regulated and under the surveillance of genes present on chromosomes. These genes consist of specific deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence known as homeobox and hence, the genes are referred to as Hox genes.

Which of the following is NOT true when comparing epithelial and mesenchymal cells.
A) Epithelial and mesenchymal cells differ in their DNA content.
B Epithelial and mesenchymal cells secrete different types of extracellular matrix molecules.
C Epithelial cells are stationary whereas mesenchyme cells are motile.
D Mesenchymal cells can invade tissues to form organs in new places.
E) Epithelial cells express a different type of cadherin than mesenchymal cell.
Differential Hox gene expression along the anterior-posterior axis in the trunk sets up a prepattern of tissue identities that includes the limb field location, but what mechanisms are then triggered to initiate limb bud formation?
What are morphogens? Explain how they influence tissue patterning during embryonic development. Describe TWO specific examples to support your explanation.

- A classical experiment studying the fate determination of stem cells in the developing embryo uses the transplantation of somites from one organism to another. In such an experiment, a scientist transplanted somites 20, 21, and 22 from the right side of the neural tube from five-day-old developing quail embryos into chick embryos. The transplantation was performed in two orientations so that the order of the somites was sometimes reversed. Use the passage to answer the question. Central self-tolerance in the immune system arises when maturing T cells in the thymus undergo apoptosis when they bind to self-antigens. Based on this information, what would MOST likely occur as the chick immune system develops? A. T cells would recognize transplanted quail somites as foreign and rapidly divide. B. T cells would recognize transplanted quail somites as foreign and undergo apoptosis. C. T cells would recognize transplanted quail somites as self and rapidly divide.…arrow_forwardWhat are the inhibitory influences that Wnt imposes on anterior cellspecification?arrow_forwardA classical experiment studying the fate determination of stem cells in the developing embryo uses the transplantation of somites from one organism to another.

The transplantation was performed in two orientations so that the order of the somites was sometimes reversed. Use the passage to answer the question. Suppose that somite stem cells commit to their cell fates by three days post fertilization. Which result would be MOST likely in the chick embryos receiving somites transplanted in the reverse order? A. The organs arising from quail somites develop in a normal order because local signaling molecules appropriately pattern the developing organs. B. The organs arising from quail somites develop in a normal order because transcriptional programs activated in the nucleus cannot be reversed.…arrow_forward

- Researchers investigated the step-by-step processes of cell differentiation in somites through experiments in which cells were transplanted from one location to another early after somite formation. What did these experiments show? The cells of a somite are determined as the somite matures in response to cell-to-cell signals. The cells of a somite are irreversibly determined as soon as the somite is formed, based on cell-to-cell signals. The cells of a somite are determined as the somite matures in response to internal cytoplasmic signals.
