Question
Chapter 47.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The possibility of a second embryo when the ventral cells are induced to express large amounts of a protein that inhibit BMP-4.
Concept introduction:
Inactivation of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) allows the cells that are present on the dorsal side to develop into male dorsal structures.
