What is a dauer larva ?
It's a larva from a special variant of C. elegans that was first identified
in samples from soil in Germany
It is a larva that shows accelerated development in highly nutritious
environments
Dauer is just the technical term for "hermaphrodite" - so dauer larva
means hermaphrodite adult
It's a larva that arrests development in a low metabolic and enduring
stage, caused by harsh environmental conditions. The larva will
remain in the dauer stage until the conditions improve, at which
point they'll resume development.
Coelomocyte may have a role in the accumulation and storage of vitamin B12 and in protein synthetic and excretory function.
TRUEFALSE
In sea urchin, which step of egg and sperm recognition involves the formation of a fertilization cone?
Sperm binding to the egg's vitelline membrane
Fusion of the sperm and egg membranes
Acrosomal reaction
Chemo-attraction
Sperm binding to the egg's jelly coat
