Chapter 24, Problem 10A

Summary Introduction

To write:The embryo that suffers damage to some mesoderm cells

Introduction:All animal cells, excluding sponges, are divided into structural and functional units which are called tissue. Tissue is a collection of cells specialized in performing a particular purpose.

Explanation of Solution

When the mesoderm cells are damaged, the gastrula breaks and transforms into a two-cell layer. Therefore it would turn out to be a simplistic being such as sponge or hydras instead of being a complex being such as humans. When it does not break, the middle layer of cells in embryonic development gives birth to the reproductive-related organs, bones and structures.

Conclusion

Thus, it concludes that those cells are affected, and then the organs, limbs, and tissues would also be affected.
