Question
Chapter 43.1, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The sperm’s contribution in cell signaling apart from contributing a nucleus.
Introduction:
Most of the requirements for the survival of an embryo are fulfilled by the egg. The sperm contributes the nucleus and the centrioles, which is followed by cell signaling. The cell signaling produced by the centrioles is required for the axes determination of the embryo.

- 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. 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.…arrow_forwardA classical experiment studying the fate determination of stem cells in the developing embryo uses the transplantation of somites from one organism to another.

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.
