Introduction:

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have been increasing considerably since the industrial revolution. The increase in CO2 concentration has affected the life form present both on land and in water. The increase in CO2 concentration has led to increase in surface temperature by 0.75°C in last decade. It has also increased the acidity of the sea water by 30%. The increase in CO2 has not only led to increase in temperature but it has also affected the climate cycle and increased the intensity of the heat waves.

"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?
