Q

What was proved as a result of the cloning of an animal from the DNA of an udder cell?

A

DNA was not lost during development (of the udder cell) as a whole animal developed from its DNA

18
Q

What triggers cell division in oocytes?

A

fertilisation

19
Q

What happens as a result of cell division?

A

cleavage

20
Q

What do the initial dell divisions occur without?

A

An increase in the size of the blastula

21
Q

How do the first two cleavages occur in relation to each other in radical cleavage?

A

At right angles to each other

22
Q

How does a radical cleavage appear from a birds eye view of the cell?

A

A cross (+)

23
Q

What happens after the first two cleavages in radical cleavage?

A

A third cleavage, perpendicular to the first two

24
Q

What is specific about the third cleavage?

A

It is slightly displaced towards the animal pole

25
Q

How many blastomeres do you end up with after radical cleavage?

A

8

26
Q

What are cleavage events driven by?

A

mRNA in the egg

27
Q

Why are early frog cell divisions rapid?

A

There are no gap phases

28
Q

What is the grey cresent?

A

Grey bit between the vegetal region and the animal pole

29
Q

Why is the grey crescent significant?

A

It is the position which starts the first movements of the embryo

30
Q

What is gastrulation?

A

first movements of the embryo

31
Q

Where does sperm enter the egg?

A

Animal pole

32
Q

What happens to the cytoplasm on the cortical edge when a sperm enters the cell

A

It rotates slightly

33
Q

What is cortical rotation?

A

The rotation of the cortical edge of the egg

34
Q

What does cortical rotation result in?

A

Grey egg formation

35
Q

What is the degree of rotation for cortical rotation?

A

30 degrees

36
Q

What are the different types of cell in the multi-layered embryo called?

A

ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm

37
Q

WHat is the blastula cavity called?

A

blastoceal

38
Q

What is the area where the cells first move into the embryo?

A

dorsal lip

39
Q

What forms at the dorsal lip?

A

The blastopore

40
Q

What is the second cavity that forms in the blastula?

A

anchenteron

41
Q

What is the anchenteron?

A

The primitive gut
