Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.4PS
Compaction. In mammalian embryos such as the mouse, the fertilized egg divides three times to form eight loosely packed cells, which become tightly adherent in a process known as compaction. In the late 1970s, several laboratories made antibodies against mouse cell surface proteins. The antibodies prevented compaction, as did removal of Ca2+ from the medium. What sort of protein do the antibodies probably recognize, and why?

There are different versions of trust1, all of which lead to different levels of the behavior associated with this neuropeptide on male behavior. Give some examples where it would be a good idea to know a particular males genotype-that is, which of the trust1 genes he has. Give an example of when you think science has gone too far and this information should not be known.arrow_forward
