Textbook Question
Chapter 52, Problem 3U
Gastrulation is a critical event during development. Why?
a. Gastrulation converts a hollow ball of cells into a bilaterally symmetrical structure.
b. Gastrulation causes the formation of a primitive digestive tract.
c. Gastrulation causes the blastula to develop a dorsal–ventral axis.
d. All of these are significant events that occur during gastrulation.

During morphogenesis, gastrulation does which of the following?A. Gastrulation produces the ectoderm through formation of a blastocyst.B. Gastrulation produces the mesoderm to form the lining of the digestive tract.C. Gastrulation provides the mechanisms whereby cells can form the neural tube.D. Gastrulation produces the endoderm through invagination of the blastula.
Which of the following statements about gastrulation is correct?

C. The formation of the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm occurs after gastrulation.
D. The formation of the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm occurs before gastrulation.
