Report
C elegans is a powerful developmental biology model because: a) It has an invariant cleavage b) It lacks introns in its genome c) It has a simple genome d) It is transparent Answer: A and D The number of genes used in early development differs greatly between worms, fish, frogs and mammals True or false Answer: False The anterior posterior axis in c elegans is determined by a. Conditional specification b. Paracrine signals c. Contents of sperm d. Maternal location of Dsh in egg Answer: content of sperm P granules (found in C elegans embryo) determine a.
