Question
Chapter 17, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To define: Cell differentiation and morphogenesis and the two processes that are critical for development.
Introduction: Gestation or pregnancy is the period during which offspring develops within a woman. This involves several developmental stages of fetus. In humans, pregnancy is nearly nine months long, divided into three trimesters, involving several changes in the mother and the growing fetus.

If cells are transplanted from their normal region in an embryo to a different region in a recipient embryo, such cells will alter their fate, but not their specification. Cell fate map describes the allocation of cells to the germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm, whereas specification describes the exact tissues that each cell will ultimately become. The fate map of an embryo does not change during development -- the fate map of an egg is the same as the fate map of a late blastula -- whereas the specification map of an embryo changes continually as the embryo's development proceeds. The fate map of a cell is determined by labelling that cell and following it during normal development, whereas the specification state of a cell is determined by culturing a cell in an artificial medium and observing what tissues form from it.arrow_forward
