Textbook Question
Chapter 50, Problem 11TYK
Discuss Concepts Experimentally, it is possible to divide an amphibian egg so that the gray crescent is wholly within one of the two cells formed. 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.

Consider the variation in reproductive systems within the animal kingdom. These are discussed in the textbook readings. Select 1 or 2 traits and compare and contrast the human situation with other members of the animals kingdom. Two examples of traits are sexual reproduction and menopause.
Part B
Describe the development of the human embryo from the formation of the zygote to the point where the three embryonic germ layers develop. List the types of adult tissues that are derived from each of these germ layers. Be prepared to discuss how disruption early in development can cause major problems in the body of the developing individual.
Which of the following statements relating to axis formation in chickens is FALSE?
a. Henson's node secretes proteins that antagonize BMPs.
b. The side of the epiblast facing the negative, basic albumin will become the ventral side of the embryo.
c. Cells of the posterior marginal zone secrete Nodal to initiate the primitive streak.
d. Water and sodium ions are transported from the albumin through the blastodisc cells and into the subgerminal space.

- What conclusion can be drawn from embryological development? Insect and bird wings are similar in function but not in structure. Paleontologists have used fossils to trace the evolution of the modern camel. Many organisms have structures with no apparent function found during embryo development. The presence of gill slits and tails in early vertebrate embryos shows that they may share a common ancestor.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an INCORRECT statement? Question 6 options: a) The early embryo of a higher animal is never like a lower animal, but only like its early embryo. b) During the first three stages of development, blastomeres become smaller by way of each embryonic cleavage. c) The space inside of the neural tube will eventually become the space inside of the digestive system. d) A zygote results from the union of sperm and egg.arrow_forwardDarwin’s finches (Thraupidae, Passeriformes) have beaks of different shapes that allow them to feed on many different diets: insects, seeds, berries, and young leaves. For example, large ground finch has a very deep and broad bill adapted to crack hard and large seeds, while the cactus finch has an elongated and pointy beak for probing cactus flowers and fruits. Geospiza finch bills develop their distinct shapes during embryogenesis and are apparent upon hatching. Figure below is species-tree estimation of phylogenetic relationships among the Galápagos finches using mtDNA and nuclear loci information. ***Branch lengths are proportional to time and genetic distance except for abbreviated basal node depth.*** Photographs of profiles of each species are shown. Identify all species pair(s) who have the most similar DNA sequence and clearly explain why. Would Ce. fusca and Ce. olivacea be considered as one of the pair with the most similar DNA sequence given that "branch lengths are…arrow_forward
- In some ways, human development is like that of a sea urchin, in others more like the of a frog, and in other ways more like that of a bird, and even more like that of a dog. Explain in a few sentences how this is true for each of these different animals.arrow_forwarda. What is Type I and Type II embryogenesis? When did they evolve? Compare the two and give an example an extant (living) organism that follows each one. b. Type III embryogenesis evolved later, during which era? What group of animals follow Type III? Why would this type of embryogenesis evolve?arrow_forwardThe epiblast and hypoblast both develop from the inner cell mass cells in the mammalian embryo. The hypoblast becomes a specific structure that is known by two different names. What is this structure? Provide both names. 1. The hypoblast becomes the: ___________________ 2. The hypoblast becomes the: ____________________ Provide the name of the structure that is where gastrulation begins in each animal model. In the case of the frog and fish, this structure is known by two different names – there is a space below to provide each name. 1. Xenopus (frog): ___________________ 2.

- A fertilized egg, also called a________ , is a very large cell. One of the first events of animal development is the division of this cell, a process called______ , to produce a solid ball of much smaller cells, the_______. Soon, a cavity opens in this ball of cells, producing a hollow ball called the__________ . Movements of cells in this hollow ball during gastrulationproduce the three embryonic tissue layers, the______,________ , and________ .arrow_forwardExplain the developmental and functional similarities and differences between: Avian amnion and mammalian amnionarrow_forwardDescribe the four membranes in the avian egg.
