Recitation 7 Quiz Flashcards
3 ways development occurs:
- Specification
- Determination
- Differentiation
•Specification
- the first cues confer spatially distinct
identity
•Determination
- time-point when a specific
developmental fate becomes fixed
•Differentiation
- process by which a cell achieves
final form and function
A class Only =
petals
A + B expressed=
petal
B + C
stamens
C class
only carpels develops
How is there only 3 classes yet 4 different organ whorls
transcription factors work together
How are mutants named
by the missing class
Maternal effect
come from the mother
Zygotic genes
made in zygote
gap gene mutation
delete “gaps” in the segmentation pattern
Pair rule
every other segment deleted
segment polarity mutation
defects in one side of each segment
Homeotic selector genes
once segment positional information is established, homeotic genes (HOX) are expressed indicating what the segment will differentiate into
How to transcriptional networks regulate development?
By generating patterns of gene expression
Cascades
Cis-regulatory elements are key they provide specificity and flexibility
