- Signal transduction pathways are important mechanisms for cell-to-cell communication in multicellular organisms. How do the target cells typically respond when they receive signals from neighboring cells during very early stages of embryo development? A. The target cells move to one of the poles to establish the anterior-posterior body axis. B. The target cells undergo changes in gene expression, sending them down a specific developmental path. C. The target cells stop dividing so the neighboring cells have time to get to the same stage of development. D. The target cells activate a collection of miRNAs to accelerate transcription and cell division.arrow_forwardSpirochaetes are free-living, anaerobic bacteria that contain spiral-shaped cells.

Different genes are activated in different cells, causing each cell to have a unique funcation B. The same genes are actives in every cell of your body, causing every cell to function the same C. Certain cells only have parts of DNA that causes cell deferentiation D. Unique genes are in different cells, causing each cell to have a unique functionarrow_forward
- the same as the genus of an animal that steals chloroplasts from algae. It can keep the chloroplasts alive for many months, thanks to genes that were originally part of the algae genome. What kind of animal is this? A. Luna both caterpillars, Insecta, Arthropod B. Marine Flatworm, platyhelminthes C. Sea slug, mollusk gastropod D. Bivalve, Mollusk 18arrow_forwardYou are examining an organism you believe to be an animal. Which of the following would NOT support your hypothesis? O A The organism appears to be heterotrophic. O B The organism appears to be multicellular. O C The organism appears to be motile. O D The organism appears to have cell walls. O E All animals, including sponges, have development directed by Hox genes.arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes the concept of cell differentiation during the development of a multicellular organism? A. During development, all of the genes in the embryo's cells are expressed at first, but fewer and fewer are expressed as time proceeds. B. During development, different sets of genes are deleted from different cell types so that at the end of development, each cell has only the genes it needs. C. During development, different cells become specialized to have different phenotypes even though they all originated from the same cell. ..arrow_forward
