Q

IN THE NEURAL TUBE OF AN EARLY EMBRYO WHAT IS EXPRESSED

Q

WHAT IS THE ACTIVATION TRANSFORMATION MODEL

A
  1. INITIALLY ENTIRE NEURAL PLATE IS BRAIN LIKE UNDER THE INFLEUENCE OF THE AE AND PM
  2. THE NOTOCHORD SIGNALS CAUSE CELLS POSTERIORLY TO PROLIFERATE AND TRANSFORM TO A POSTERIOR IDENTITY IE TURN ON THE TFS THAT DICTATE POSTERIOR IDENTITY

Q

WHAT IS THE LEWIS WOLPERT FRENCH FLAG MODEL

A

29
Q

CELLS THAT RECEIVE ‘SOME’ BMP ANTAGONISTS BECOME WHAT

A

NEURAL PLATE BORDER CELLS

30
Q

WHY DO CELLS THAT RECEIVE HIGH LEVELS OF BMP ANTAGONISTS BECOME NEURAL
