Answer to Problem 1FIB

Correct answer:

In general, animal behaviors arise from an interaction between the animal’s gene and its environment. Some behaviors are performed correctly the first time an animal encounters the proper stimulus. Such behaviors are described as innate behaviors.

Explanation of Solution

Behavior can be defined as any visual activity of an organism. The behavior of the organisms depends on the genetic component as well as the environmental factors. The behaviors are the resultant of the interaction of genes and environmental factors.

The influence on behaviors by genes is indicated by the behaviors performed by newborns. As they do not have prior exposure to such stimulus, it is evident that those behaviors are encoded by genes. These kinds of behaviors get completed even when the newborn experiences the proper stimulus for the first time. Such behaviors are known as innate behaviors.

Conclusion

The behaviors are influenced by genes, environment, as well as the interaction of these two components. The behaviors which are performed first time because of encountering the proper stimulus are referred to as innate behaviors.

"One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE.  1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site  4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal  Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?
