Question
Chapter 47.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The possibility of a second embryo when the ventral cells are induced to express large amounts of a protein that inhibit BMP-4.
Concept introduction:
Inactivation of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) allows the cells that are present on the dorsal side to develop into male dorsal structures.

The BMP-Nodal gradient so vital to amphibian and fish development may be critically important in other vertebrates (including humans) as well. Moreover, can any field of pluripotent cells (such as human embryonic stem cells)respond to gradients of BMP and Nodal signals?

If the two cells are separated, only the cell with the gray crescent will form an embryo with a long axis, notochord, nerve cord, and back musculature. The other forms a shapeless mass of immature gut and blood cells. Propose an explanation for these outcomes.arrow_forward
