Chapter 51, Problem 1S
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The changes that would be expected when there is mutation in the SRY gene such that a male embryo could not produce functional protein.
Introduction:
In humans, the sex determination system relies on the X and Y chromosome. The egg of female contributes X chromosome, while the sperm of the male contribute to either Y chromosome or X chromosome. These combinations will result in male (XY) or female (XX) offspring respectively. SRY (sex-determining region Y) is present on the Y chromosome of males, which is responsible for the development of male in humans.

During embryogenesis, how do segments become different that one another?
You have an embryo in the eight-cell stage that shows radial and indeterminate cleavage. What would happen if you separated the cells of this embryo and placed them each into tissue culture media?
Each cell may continue development, but only into a nonviable embryo that lacks many parts.
Each cell may develop into a full-sized, normal embryo.
All eight cells would die immediately.
Each cell may deyelop into a smaller-than-average, but otherwise normal, embryo.
Carefully distinguish between the terms differentiation and determination. Which phenomenon occurs initially during development?

- Suppose that, at the time a human zygote is undergoing cleavage, the first two blastomeres that form separate from each other completely. Both of the blastomeres and their cellular descendants continue to divide on schedule, on the prescribed developmental program. The result is identical twins or two normal, genetically individuals. By contrast, non-identical twins form when two different secondary oocytes are fertilized at the same time by two different sperm. Based on this information, explain why non-identical (fraternal) twins show considerable genetic variability and identical twins do not.arrow_forwardWhat is your opinion of the status of an 8-celled human embryo? Why?arrow_forwardWhich mechanism prevents an ovum from being fertilized by multiple sperm cells? Select one: a. When more than a single sperm cell fuses with the plasma membrane, multiple zygotes can form, leading to the conception of twins or triplets. b. When a sperm fuses with the plasma membrane of the egg, depolarization of the membrane occurs. c. Once a sperm penetrates the jelly-like coating of the egg, no other sperm cells can penetrate the coating. d. The egg can only survive in the Fallopian tube for 24 hours as it does not have mitochondria to produce energy.arrow_forward
