Epithelium–Mesenchyme transitions (MET or EMT) are crucial morphogenetic events occurring during gastrulation. Give at least 3 specific examples of embryonic structures that develop in this manner, and the regulatory mechanisms that govern this transition. How would our understanding of this regulation affect cancer prognosis and treatment?

After birth, there is production and secretion of milk from the mother'smammary glands.a) Discuss the similarities and differences observed in the stages ofdevelopment of the adult breast tissue, specifically from the nonpregnant, to the pregnant and finally to the lactating stage.b) Why is it normally only after birth that lactogenesis occurs?
A human is a complex organism that develops from a zygote. Briefly explain some of the the steps in this development process in the form of a paragraph. In your answer, be sure to: 1) explain how a zygote formed, 2) compare the genetic content of the zygote to the body cells of the parents, 3) identify the structure in which embryonic/fetal development usually occurs within, and 4) identify the structure that forms, which provides nourishment and waste removal to/from the developing baby.
If cells choose to become trophoblast, they will end up in the placenta. If they choose to become ICM, they will give rise to the 3 germ layers that will make up the rest of the body of the embryo. Explain what rpocesses or mechanisms will guide them to make the right decision. Do they have a choice?
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.…

As the somite cells develop into muscles, regular depolarizations in the muscles are required for the brain to properly form circuits with developing organs. Based on this observation, which prediction is MOST likely true? A. The muscles release neurotransmitters to stimulate the innervating neurons. B. The innervating neurons release neurotransmitters to stimulate the muscles. C. The muscles release hormones to stimulate the innervating neurons. D. The innervating neurons…
After fertilization a developing embryos goes through several changes. At about 2-3 days, what is the embryo referred to as?

The transplantation was performed in two orientations so that the order of the somites was sometimes reversed. Use the passage to answer the question. Observations of the developing chick embryo reveal that skeletal muscles develop from the transplanted somites even though motor neurons innervating those muscles arise from chick neural crest cells. Based on these observations, what is MOST likely true? A. Neural crest cells differentiate into somites. B. Neural crest cells fuse with developing somite cells. C. Neural crest cells develop from migrating somite cells. D. Neural crest cells send projections into developing…
Which plane would be helpful when viewing the heart and the right kidney at the same time? whychose that plane and why the remaining planes would not be helpful when viewing these specific organs at the same time. Enzymes are important during the process of fertilization. What would be the anticipated consequences if the level of acrosin was low or non-existent in the acrosome? What is the name of the outer cell layer of the blastocyst and what does it give rise to? Does this layer contribute to the development of the embryo?

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. 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.…
A fertilized egg, also called a________ , is a very large cell. One of the first events of animal development is the division of this cell, a process called______ , to produce a solid ball of much smaller cells, the_______. Soon, a cavity opens in this ball of cells, producing a hollow ball called the__________ . Movements of cells in this hollow ball during gastrulationproduce the three embryonic tissue layers, the______,________ , and________ .
Why is the fate of many cells determined during gastrulation? Are there many cytoplasmic determinants during this stage?
