Q

regional determination

A
  • once cells are committed to form a particular structure they can be taken out of resident area and transplanted to a different region but continue to behave like they did in other cite
  • thoracic vertebrae developing like thoracic even though its been moved to cervical region

Q

Sequential induction

A
  • builds a group of different cells
  • B works on A and produces C
  • C works on A and. B and produces D and E

Q

4 essential processes by which an embryo is constructed

A
  1. Cell proliferation
  2. Cell specialization (differentiation)

Q

Patterning

A
  • cells that are produced by cleavage get organized into layers and groups of cell masses through what is know as gastrulation

Q

Paradigm of development

A
  • in every species and at every level of organization, complex structures are made by repeating a few basic themes with variations

Q

Gastrulation is the formation of what 3 key cell layers?

A
  • Ectoderm
  • Mesoderm
  • Endoderm
21
Q

Gastrulation

A
  • infolding of cells from outer layer to inner layer

- creating clusters of cells that have specialized function

22
Q

Hensens node

A
  • organizing structure of gastrulation

- acts like a zipper

23
Q

Neural crest cells

A
  • embryonic cell population that is localized between the developing neural tube and the non- neural ectoderm
24
Q

Stemness

A
  • neural crest cells that can give rise to multiple differentiated cells exhibit stemness
  • can renew itself
25
Q

How do neural crest cells form craniofacial structures?

A
  • they migrate through restricted pathways to form the developing structures
26
Q

Cell migration

A

`- a tightly regulated process where the NCCs receive cues such as morphogens and growth factors that restrict their movement and determine fate

27
Q

Where do the cues for cell migration come from?

A
  • adjacent cells
28
Q

Neural crest cells

A
  • move out and give rise to tissues

- regions where they migrate are called rhombomeres

29
Q

Different signals are giving information to ectoderm and dermomyotome

A
  • true
30
Q

The segmental plate mesoderm gives rise to what?

A
  • epithelial somites
31
Q

Epithelial somites give rise to what?

A

-dermamyotome and sclerotome

32
Q

The dermamyotome gives rise to what?

A
  • dermatome and myotome
33
Q

The sclerotome gives rise to what?

A
  • ribs
  • vertebrae
  • base of skull; some facial muscles
34
Q

The dermatome gives rise to what?

A
  • dermis
35
Q

The myotome gives rise to what?

A

epaxial skeletal muscle and hypaxial skeletal muscle

36
Q

Coordinate genes

A

regulate gap genes

37
Q

Gap genes

A
  • self regulate
  • regulate pair rule genes
  • regulate homeotic selector genes
38
Q

Pair rule genes

A
  • self regulate
  • regulate homeotic selctor genes
  • regulate segment polarity genes
39
Q

Homeotic selector genes

A
  • regulate other genes
40
Q

Segment polarity genes

A
  • regulate self

- regulate homeotic selector genes

41
Q

Homeosis

A
  • replacement of one body part with another
42
Q

Drosophila Homeotic Genes

A
  • gene products are gene regulatory proteins
  • All contain a highly conserved DNA binding homeodmain sequence 60 amino acids long
  • The corresponding segment in the 180 BP DNA sequence is called a homeobox hence the name hox complex
43
Q

Hox genes

A
  • interspersed amongst large stretches of regulatory DNA regions
  • Hox genes are expressed sequentially according to their order in the HOx complex
  • Hox complex carries a permanent record of positional information (why head goes in the right spot)
  • There are hundreds of other homeobox genes in the genome, but they are scattered and not clustered in complexes
44
Q

How many hox complexes do drosophila have?

A

2

45
Q

How many hox complexes do mammalia have?

A

4

46
Q

T/F mouse complexes are located at 3 different chromosomes?

A

false (4)

47
Q

When do the lip forms?

A

between 4th-7th week of pregnancy

48
Q

When does the palate form?

A

between weeks 6 and 9
