A(n) ______ develops from a two-layer embryo.
| a. sea star | c. butterfly |
| b. sea anemone | d. earthworm |
Introduction:
The environment is composed of a variety of organisms. Animals are the most complex living organisms. They are eukaryotes as they contain a well-defined nucleus enclosed in a nuclear membrane. All kinds of animals reproduce to give rise to their offspring. Animals do not contain a cell wall, and they cannot prepare food. All animals are heterotrophs as they depend on other organisms for their food.
Answer to Problem 1SA
Correct answer:
A sea anemone develops from a two-layer embryo. Hence, the correct answer is option b.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
Option b. is given as “sea anemone.”
The collection of similar type of cells forms tissue. Animals contain tissue and similar kinds of tissue join together to form the organs. Cnidarians are the simpler animals that live in water bodies. The embryo of cnidarians contains two-layer, an outer layer called ectoderm, and the inner layer that is known as endoderm. Sea anemones are the cnidarians that develop from a two-layer embryo.
Reason for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as, “sea star.”
Seastar is also known as starfish, and it belongs to the phylum “Echinoderm.” Sea star arises from a three-layered embryo. These three layers are outer layer (ectoderm), middle layer (mesoderm), and inner layer (endoderm). This indicates that sea star does not form from a two-layer embryo. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as, “butterfly.”
Butterfly is not a cnidarian. It is a complex insect that forms from a three-layered embryo. These three layers are outer layer (ectoderm), middle layer (mesoderm) and inner layer (endoderm). This indicates that the butterfly does not arise from a two-layer embryo. Hence, option c. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as, “earthworm.”
Earthworm belongs to the phylum named “Annelid.” It is formed from a three-layered embryo. These three layers are outer layer (ectoderm), middle layer (mesoderm) and inner layer (endoderm). This indicates that earthworm does not arise from a two-layer embryo. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., c., and d. are incorrect.
The organism that arises from a two-layer embryo is a sea anemone. Thus, the correct option is b.

- Using quail and chick embryos, quail-specific antibody and fluorescent tissue-specific antibodies, design an experiment where you investigate the tissues the cranial neural crest can give rise to. What are four derivatives of the cranial neural crest that you expect to see in the resulting chimeric embryos?arrow_forwardDoes the neural crest have to undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transition prior to migration through the developing embryo? Does the neural crest differentiate into different cell types based on their axial position along the anterior and posterior axis?arrow_forwardUsing quail and chicken embryos, what kind of experiment would you conduct to test if rib forming somites have their axial identity specified before segmentation? How do we know this phenotype is due to axial identity being specified before segmentation and not due to our experimental method?arrow_forward

The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid.

- You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?arrow_forwardYou decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.arrow_forwardYou implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud.
