Chapter 25, Problem 9CONQ
Summary Introduction

To review:

The similarities and differences between the processes of pre-establishment of the gradient of morphogens in oocyte and the process of secretion of morphogens by the cell during latter developmental stages.

Introduction:

Morphogens are present in oocytes, having a pre-established gradient. In the embryo, the gradient is created by the cells that secrete morphogens. Morphogens provide positional information to the cells which, helps in the formation of various structures in the body of Drosophila.

"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?
