Why is it easier to manipulate embryonic stem cells to differentiate into various tissues than it is to manipulate a typical adult cell?
a.
As cells develop, signaling pathways can cause some genes to be turned off during development.
b.
Adult cells have different DNA content than do embryonic stem cells.
c.
Emybronic stem cells pose less of a threat for organ rejection as do an individual s own adult cells.
d.
It is no easier to manipulate emybronic stem cells to differentiate into various tissues than it is to manipulate a typical adult cell.
The expression of maternal-effect genes directly leads to
a. the establishment of body axes.
b. segmentation.
c. determination.
d. cell differentiation.
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.

DNA methylation triggered by apoptosis leads to suppression of some genes and expression of others.B. Presence of germ layers trigger hormonal release from endocrine glands, signaling to certain cells to express genes.C.

(Check all that apply) A ET induces RX, which in turn induces Otx2 and Pax6. B During late gastrulation, the forebrain and hindbrain are specified. Pax6 initiates the expression of a network of transcription factors, some of which mutually activate one another. D ET induces RX, which in turn induces Pax6 and blocks Otx2 within the eye field.

The intestine is derived from the endoderm. What concept? Question #2. Metamorphosis in frog. What concept? Question #3. An endodermal cell taken from a late gastrula stage grafted in the region of the ectoderm developed into stomach. What concept?arrow_forwardWhat statement best describes the difference between "fate maps" and "specification"? If cells are transplanted from their normal region in an embryo to a different region in a recipient embryo, such cells will alter their fate, but not their specification. Cell fate map describes the allocation of cells to the germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm, whereas specification describes the exact tissues that each cell will ultimately become. The fate map of an embryo does not change during development -- the fate map of an egg is the same as the fate map of a late blastula -- whereas the specification map of an embryo changes continually as the embryo's development proceeds. The fate map of a cell is determined by labelling that cell and following it during normal development, whereas the specification state of a cell is determined by culturing a cell in an artificial medium and observing what tissues form from it.arrow_forward
