Q

In sea urchin, the embryo is cut into two halves. If it is longitudinal, the embryo has cells from the animal and vegetal poles leading to ABNORMAL/NORMAL development

If it is a horizontal cut, the embryo has cells from one or the other, leading to ABNORMAL/NORMAL development

What does this confirm?

A

Normal Development

Abnormal development

Cytoplasmic Determinants affect development

110
Q

In the embryo, one cell or group of cells can exert influence over neighboring cells. This is called ________

These are controller cells that diffuse among neighboring cells and influence their development (dorsal lip fxns as primary organizer of blastophore)

What does the dorsal lip induce the development of in nearby cells?

A

Embryonic Induction

Organizers

Notochord development

111
Q

These control embryonic development, they code for substances that directly affect development of specific structures and can be turned on or off.

This is a unique DNA segment of 180 nts that identifies a particular class of genes that controls development. It encodes a homeodomain protein that can bind DNA

A

Homeotic Genes

Homeobox

112
Q

Programmed cell death that is a part of normal cell development. Essential for development of nervous system, operation of immune system, and destroy tissue (webbing) between fingers/toes.

If damaged cells don’t undergo programmed cell death, what might develop?

Cell death is regulated by ___ activity, in a normal cell they are inactive

A

Apoptosis is important for development!

Cancer

Protein

113
Q

What organelle in mammals plays a vital role in apoptosis?

Characteristics of apoptosis: changes include blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, and chromosomal DNA fragmentation. There
is no cellular rupturing, no inflammatory response. The dead cells are engulfed. Typically affects single cells.

A

Mitochondria

114
Q

If a cell is in its final form and cannot be changed, it is said to be.

Determination is likely LATER/EARLIER rather than LATER/EARLIER

A

Determined

later rather than earlier; cytoplasmic influences narrowed by successive cell division

115
Q

Cells can be traced during development to develop a

A

Lineage Map

116
Q

Labor is a series of strong ______ contractions

In the first step, the _____ thins out and dilates, the _______ ruptures and releases fluids

Rapid contractions are followed by birth. Uterus contractions expel ___ and ____

A

Uterine

Cervix; amniotic Sac

Umbilical cord and placenta

117
Q

Fraternal twins result from…

Identical twins result from…

A

More than one egg being fertilized

indeterminate cleavage

118
Q

These are a group of tetrapods (four-limbed animals with backbones or spinal columns) that have a terrestrially adapted egg; supported by several extraembryonic membranes.

A

Amniotes
