IMPORTANT GENES OF EMBRYOGENESIS Flashcards
1
Q
zone of polarizing activity at base of limb buds
anterior-posterior axis patterning, CNS development
mutations to holoprosencephaly
A
sonic hedgehog (SHH) gene
2
Q
apical ectodermal ridge at distal end of each limb
dorsal ventral axis patterning, limb development
A
Wnt-7 gene
3
Q
apical ectodermal ridge
limb lengthening via mitosis of mesoderm
A
fibroblast growth factor (FGF) gene
4
Q
multiple
segmental org in cranial caudal direction, transcription factor coding
mutations leading to appendages in wrong locations. Isotretinoin leading to increased Hox gene expression
A
homeobox (Hox) gene
