In neurulation, what cell types are involved? What morphogens are present (and antagonists)? What transcription factors are there? What tissues/tissue types are there? What are the signaling pathways used and how do each function? What's the end goal, and what is the response in development? Draw a labeled diagram or detailed flow chart of neurulation in embryos to show this. (FYI, this is one practice question. No grading involved.)

In an outline form, describe briefly the phases of neurulation. Mention some signaling molecules, genes, morphogenetic factors, and other factors, intrinsic/extrinsic factors responsible for each phase.
Which of the following is not true about neurulation? Choose all possible answers. a. Segregation of neural ectodermal rudiment from the epidermal ectoderm. b. In primary neurulation, the neural plate thickens along its midline into a solid cord of cells that is displaced internally and cavitates to form a hollow tube. c. In secondary neurulation, the neural plate folds along the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo, forming a tube that detaches from, and is displaced under, the epidermal ectoderm. d. Ectoderm forms the neural tube e. Mesoderm forms the reproductive organs f. Endoderm forms the gut g. All are true about neurulation

What means to retain the ability to become any cell type—including germ-line cells and gametes—when exposed to the appropriate signals in a developing embryo?
There are 6 major events in fertilization. Discuss the process of fertilization or conception, with emphasis on the sperm-egg interaction. Proteins on the sperm plasma membrane bind to ZP3 molecules within the zona pellucida of the egg. Why is this event important? Zona binding triggers the acrosome reaction, in which the sperm plasma membrane fuses with the outer acrosomal membrane, causing exocytosis of acrosomal contents. What is in the "acrosomal content"? Acrosomal enzymes begin to dissolve a hole in the zona pellucida. This enzymatic degradation, accompanied by rapid sperm tail beating, moves the sperm through the zona. Where does the sperm intend to reach?
Describe the process of Neurulation, formation of neural crest & placodes, and the derivatives and importance of those.
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. 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…
How is the polar body formed in a way that the oocyte retains most of the cytoplasm? And how do thegamete recognition proteins interact with cell fusion proteins to allow the sperm to enter the egg?
Sexual differentiation begins close to 4 weeks after fertilization, but cannot be seen visually until about 6 weeks post fertilization. All fetuses begin with a ______________________ gonad that is able to become either ovaries or testes, depending on the presence or absence of the Y chromosome. If the Y chromosome is present, a region of the Y chromosome will begin expressing genes that start the process of masculinization of internal structures. This region is known as the ______________________________ region or ___________ for short. The expression of these genes causes the bipotential gonad to develop into the testes. Once the testes have started developing, two hormones, testosterone and Anti-MüllerianHormone are produced. Testosterone causes the _____________________ ducts to develop into the _____________________. Testosterone also causes the internal development of the __________________ and __________________. Anti-Müllerian Hormone causes the ______________________ ducts…
The development of sex and gender is a good example of a developmental cascade because: Group of answer choices Although having an X and a Y chromosome at conception typically leads to the development of testes during prenatal development, this may not lead to typical male genitalia if certain hormones are present later in development Two people may have the same gonads early in prenatal development but end up with different external genitalia and gender identities as a result of differences in the prenatal environment All of the options listed here are correct Having two X chromosomes at conception typically leads to the development of ovaries during prenatal development, which typically leads to high levels of estrogen in puberty, which typically leads to a female gender identity in adulthood

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.…

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.…
