To review:
The difference in the micromere GRN of a starfish and sea urchins, in relation to the evolutionary development.
Introduction:
The developmental and evolutionary biology depends upon the anatomy encoded by the genome. The elucidation of genetic mechanism needs the analysis of biological information at genomic, cellular and tissue levels. The study of skeletogenesis in sea urchin provides the key elements to reveals the evolutionary trends of the heritable genomic regulatory programs which helps in determining the morphological characteristic of related species. These evolutionary changes depends upon GRNs (gene regulatory network), which helps to determine the specification of embryonic skeletogenic cells known as primary mesenchyma cells (PMCs).

Explanation of Solution
The two echinoderms, sea urchin and starfish are diverged from their common ancestor, around 520-480 million years ago. Both of these animals possess a similar endomesodermal map, except the skeletogenic cell lineage present in sea urchin which produces a prominent skeleton, entirely lacking in starfish. An important element of GRN is found to be retained in both echinoderm lineage since the Cambrian Period. The evolutionary changes in the GRNs mainly found to occur in few cis-regulatory elements, while other present in unaltered form. The alteration in the cis-regulatory interaction, impacts the architecture of GRNs. The GRNs are actually responsible for the expression of downstream genes which specifies the primary mesenchyma cells (PMCs) responsible for the embryonic skeleton.
Thus it is concluded that few changes in the cis regulatory elements of GRN architecture among sea urchin and starfish, is the reason for the their divergence related to GRN and morphological evolution.

- We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates.

- One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardHow do i know which way the arrows go?arrow_forward
