Dining which prenatal period is the basic body plan established?

To review:
The prenatal period during which the establishment of basic body plan takes place.
Introduction:
The development of a fetus takes 38 weeks from the time of fertilization of an egg. This period is known as a prenatal period that is divided into embryonic, fetal, and germinal period. The germinal period spans from the conception to 2 weeks after the fertilization. Third to eighth week is marked by an embryonic period.
Explanation of Solution
 Â
The body plan is established during an embryonic period of prenatal period. The basic body plan is a tube within a tube structure. The outer tube forms the outer body wall and the inner tubes forms the respiratory and digestive tract. These tubes are separated by a serous cavity. The structures in the basic body plan are skin, outer body wall, body cavity, inner tube, kidney, gonads, and limbs. The skin consists of two layers: outer epidermis and inner dermis. The outer body wall includes the trunk muscles.
The inner body tube in the abdominal and thoracic cavity contains the digestive and respiratory tract, respectively. The pericardial and pleural cavity separates the heart and lungs, in the respiratory tract, from the outer body wall. The peritoneal cavity in the abdomen separates the digestive tract from the outer body wall. These cavities are lined by visceral and parietal serosa. The muscle, bone, and skin constitute the limbs.

- 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
- 8. Aerobic respiration of a 5 mM solution of tripeptide that is composed of the following three amino acids; alanine, leucine and isoleucine. Alanine breaks down to pyruvate, leucine breaks down to Acetyl-CoA and isoleucine breaks down to succinyl-CoA. Alanine NADH FADH2 OP ATP SLP ATP Total ATP Leucine Isoleucine Totals Show your work using dimensional analysis here: 4arrow_forward9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. 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. Assume no other carbon source is available. fatty acids glycerol 18 carbons 12 carbons 0=arrow_forwardinfluences of environment on the phenotype.arrow_forward

- 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. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb? Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.arrow_forward
