Concept explainers
To explain: Why the transplantation of tissue from an older embryo of a salamander to a frog tadpole does not form balancers in tadpole snouts, whereas when a young salamander embryo is transplanted, the tadpoles develop balancers.
Introduction:
The nuclei of early embryos have the capacity to give rise to an entire organism. These cells have the ability to develop into tissues by surrounding the cells as they are not committed, that is, determined. This is known as conditional development. The other type of development is autonomous development.
Hypothesis: The cells of the embryo that are committed will form the structure accordingly, even if they are transplanted at an equivalent site.
