Q

talk about the einstucking experiment where he took 4 regions of the archenteron from a LATE gastrula and put them into an EARLY gastrula blastocoel

A

when he took different regions of the archenteron (already has NS and has migrated) and grafted them, each region formed an extra part of an embryo depending on which section of the the tissue he extracted it from

Q

talk about the einstucking experiment where he took the dorsal blastopore lip of an EARLY gastrula and put it into another EARLY gastrula
vs
taking the lip from a LATER stage gastrula and putting it into another EARLY gastrula

A

the early gastrula lip formed a second head
the later stage gastrula lip formed a second tail
- proved that the first organizer cells make the head first, and then the later cells form a tail

Q

describe the shape of a chick embryo. How do the cells migrate in the dorsal lip?

Q

what are the cells called on the top side of the embryo? bottom side of embryo?

A

top = epiblast
bottom = hypoblast

24
Q

what is the pathway on the left side of a chick embryo that differentiates the axis?

A
  1. Shh activates Cerberus
  2. Cerberus blocks BMP to allow for activation of Nodal
  3. Nodal turns on Pitx2 (only on left side)
    - must have threshold amount of Nodal for activation
25
Q

what are the negatives to using mammals as model organisms?

A
  • ethical concerns
  • small eggs
  • low production
  • internal fertilization & development
  • slow development (long generation times)
  • asynchronous division (cells don’t divide at same rate)
  • genome activation (MBT) occurs sooner
26
Q

what are the positives to using mice as model organisms?

A
  • easy to breed
  • easily housed
  • large litters
  • short generation times
27
Q

what happens on day 1 of fertilization?

A

first division

28
Q

what day is the embryo a morula? (uneven cells)

A

day 4

29
Q

what day does the embryo enter the uterus?

A

day 5

30
Q

what day does the embryo implant into the endometrium?

A

day 7

31
Q

what day is gastrulation?

A

day 14-16

32
Q

what week is nerulation?

A

week 3

33
Q

what weeks is organogenesis?

A

week 3-8

34
Q

when is the embryo called a fetus?

A

week 8

35
Q

what does allometry mean?

A

parts of the body grows at different rates
- big head on a baby

36
Q

what type of cleavage do mammals do?

A

rotational cleavage

37
Q

after what division are the embryo cells no longer totipotent (now pluripotent)? what type of cell is it?

A

after the 4th division
- cells are a blastula

38
Q

what two structures are differentiated in the pluripotent cell?

A

trophoblastic cells (placenta)
inner cell mass (embryo, MBs, amniotic sac)

39
Q

what signal is expressed in the ICM to block trophoblastic fate?

A

Oct4
- known as the pluripotent signal

40
Q

describe the steps of implantation

A
  1. egg released proteolytic enzymes to chew up zona pellucida (gets rid of slippery layer) as it enters the uterus
  2. embryo embeds into mother (proteolytic enzymes, polysaccharides, ECM proteins, hyalin-related proteins)
    - enzymes are used to prevent rejection of the egg
  3. ICM divides into two layers (epiblast, hypoblast)
  4. mother’s blood vessels (trophoblastic lacunae) form around embryo
    - does not directly connect, molecules diffuse over
41
Q

what does the epiblast and hypoblast become?

A

epiblast = mesoderm, ectoderm, endoderm
hypoblast = becomes nutrients & yolk sac

42
Q

what is the chorion?

A

the area that the molecules diffuse over to the embryo form the mother
- made by trophoblastic cells
- baby picks up O2 form mom thru umbilical cord ( 2 arteries, 1 vein)

43
Q

what is the allantois?

A

gets rid of waste by giving it to mom

44
Q

what are monozygotic twins?

A

identical twins
- one sperm, one egg

45
Q

what are the three ways monozygotic twins form?

A
  1. blastomeres separate before blastula forms (day 0-5)
    - two cells (1st divison) pull apart form each other
    - 2 chorions (2 implantations), 2 amniotic cavities
  2. ICM separates before amniotic cavity forms (days 5-9)
    - implantation has occurs
    - 1 chorion (1 implantation), 2 amnions
  3. Node separates before gastrulation (after day 9)
    - 1 chorion, 1 amnion
46
Q

what are dizygotic twins?

A

fraternal twins
- two sperm, two eggs

47
Q

what are chimera twins (un-twins)? how do they form?

A

two mouse embryos at early cleavage stage (morula) stick to each other before they are implanted
- creates only 1 embryo that is a mixture of both (calico)
- regulative / conditional specification (induced by neighbors)

48
Q

which hox genes are dominant, posterior or anterior?

A

posterior

49
Q

what are paralogous genes?

A

same gene family, different location (A1, B1, C1, D1)
- on a different chromosome

50
Q

describe the lose it experiment for hox genes

A

remove hox10 = lost lumbar region
- created more thoracic
- anteriorizes

remove hox11 = lost sacral region
- created more lumbar
- anteriorizes

51
Q

describe the move it experiment for hox genes

A

add RA = makes cervical spine, thoracic
- posteriorizes

less RA = makes thoracic spine, cervical
- anteriorizes

52
Q

describe the find it experiment for hox genes

A

chick vs mice (comparative anatomy)
- chick = 14 C, 7 T, 12 L/S, 5 COX
- mice = 7 C, 13 T, 6 L, 4S
- determined specific hox genes make specific vertebrae
- hox5/hox6 (C/T)

53
Q

described what happened to limb growth when RA was added to a limb after wrist amputation

A

proximalizes the limb
- hox genes tell it is more proximal than it actually is
- created an entire new arm starting at the wrist, when all it needed was a new hand

54
Q

how is vitamin A related to RA?

A

vitamin A is converted to RA
- can cause issues when taking a megadose

55
Q
