cell death & proliferation, expression of proteins, cell shape

19
Q

20
Q

21
Q

what techniques can be used for c.elegans? - CARMIC

A

mutagenesis, cell ablation, RNA interference

22

A

targeted transgenesis, mutagenesis

24

A

transgenesis, injections & tissue transplantations

25
Q

What techniques can be used for Gallus, Gallus - TITRE

A

26
Q

Describe the first step of Hans Driesch experiment on sea urchins

A

isolate blastomeres in sea urchin embryo

27
Q

Describe the second step of the Hans Driesch experiment

A

split blastomeres at the 2 cell stage - gives rise to normally patterned small embryos

28
Q

Describe the third step of the Hans Driesch experiment

A

isolate blastomeres at 4 cell stage - four small normal larvae

29
Q

Describe the fourth step of the Hans Driesch experiment

A

Isolate animal/vegetal halves at 8 cell stage - abnormal embryos

30
Q

What experimental approaches can be used for Xenopus

A

separate blastomeres, tissue transplantation, microinjection, amphibian organiser

31
Q

what is the blastopore

A

region where gastrulation begins

32
Q

Describe the amphibian organiser experiment

A

blastopore is cut off embryo, then grafted onto ventral side of another embryo, blastopore induces formation of secondary embryo

33
Q

Why does the blastopore induce a secondary embryo

A

signalling centre and organising region

34
Q

What are the steps in making a fate map

A

label cell in early embryo, look for progeny of labelled cell, create fate map

35
Q

What are the features of an ideal marker?

A

readily visible, X perturb development, X leak into neighbouring cells, inherited by ALL progeny

36
Q

What are useful markers for fate mapping?

A

vital dyes, high molecular tracers, cytological labels

37
Q

what do fate maps discover

A

cells NORMAL development

38
Q

How do you test cell commitment

A

culture cells in isolation, compare fate and specification map

39
Q

What are the two types of transplantation between embryos

A

orthotopic & heterotopic graft

40
Q

What does it mean if a heterotopic graft from late stage of embryo forms ectopic tissue

A

by this stage the cells are committed to form this tissue
