To review:
The molecular mechanism which decides the fate of neural crest cells, to express at the right time and in the correct form of representation.
Introduction:
Neural crest cells consists a tendency to differentiate into astonishing array of adult structures. The control of differentiation is explained by two opposing hypothesis. One of them proposed that, all neural crest cells contains an equal developmental potential, and their migration and fate is totally depends upon the environmental signals. The second hypothesis suggests that premigratory crest cells are programmed for different developmental behaviour. The migration pathways are regulated by the complex array of guidance molecules both attractive and repulsive.

- Qq4. When doctors discuss prenatal development, they often calculate the due date from the first day of menstruation. In fact, the baby’s gestational age is calculated from the first day of menstruation. At a maternity clinic, an obstetrician mentions that when a woman is 10 weeks pregnant, the baby is referred to as a fetus.Which of the following is the correct calculation of the baby’s age from the moment of fertilization, assuming a 28-day ovarian cycle? a. The baby is 8 weeks old. This is when organ formation has completed. b. The baby is 10 weeks old as stated by the doctor. .arrow_forwardIDENTIFICATION (Subject - Development Biology) 1.

- Project 2 Muscle Diseases: Muscular Dystrophy1Spunky is a 5-year-old girl who has very large calf muscles and shows severe weakness in her leg and armmuscles. Laboratory tests showed that Spunky has high levels of creatine phosphokinase in her urine. The doctor explained to her parents that Spunky!s muscles are being replaced by fat and connective tissue because her body cells cannot metabolize protein properly. As a result, Spunky!s cells cannot produce creatine from amino acids. Therefore, she cannot store creatine phosphate in her muscles that is necessary to provide energy for her muscles to contract. Help Spunky!s parents understand her disease by completing the following tasks.2. Write the origin and insertion point of each muscle.3. Draw a diagram to show how a muscle fiber uses energy for contraction.arrow_forwardAssignment Objectives: When given a family’s genetic history, deduce the genotypes for specific family members. •Describe the inheritance and expression of various genetic disorders found in humans. •Determine how genetic screening and counseling can be used to help counsel individuals dealing with lethal genetic disorders in their family. Read through each scenario and answer the following questions: a. Determine the genotypes of all individuals discussed in each scenario in addition to yours, your partners’, and your unborn child. For example, “You remember your partner telling you that their father died at an early age of Huntington’s disease.” In this case you would need to determine your partner’s father’s genotype. b. Determine what probability your unborn child will inherit the disorder (be sure to include a Punnett square)? i. If you are unable to determine your child’s chance of inheriting the disorder what additional information do you require? c.
