Summary Introduction

To explain: Why the transplantation of tissue from an older embryo of a salamander to a frog tadpole does not form balancers in tadpole snouts, whereas when a young salamander embryo is transplanted, the tadpoles develop balancers.

Introduction:

The nuclei of early embryos have the capacity to give rise to an entire organism. These cells have the ability to develop into tissues by surrounding the cells as they are not committed, that is, determined. This is known as conditional development. The other type of development is autonomous development.

Hypothesis: The cells of the embryo that are committed will form the structure accordingly, even if they are transplanted at an equivalent site.

Modern sponges produce microscopic spicules (right) to deter predation but, as the earliest animals, they existed before any predators evolved; how might biologists interpret this observation?   A. Spicules were probably absent in the earliest sponges and evolved later as predation began. B. Spicules performed other tasks in early sponges, possibly structural support, and were later modified for defense. C. Spicules were present in some sponge species and absent in others; predation became a selection pressure that eliminated some species entirely. D. All of the above are valid hypotheses.
Placenta Specialised teeth What were some of the challenges for animals that moved on to land? Select one: a. Lateral lines became useless, eggs required water and land was highly populated b. They lacked strong limbs and strong body skeleton, lacked respiration/breathing lungs and desiccation c. Eggs required water, they lacked strong limbs and land was highly populated d. They lacked lungs for respiration, lacked strong limbs and there was less food on land e. They lacked strong limbs and strong body skeleton, lacked respiration/breathing lungs and desiccation
