Chapter 50, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
A zygote undergoes mitotic divisions to form an embryo. These divisions follow specific patterns. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of two daughter cells from a parent cell. The daughter cells formed have the same number and kind of nuclei. It is also called an equational type of cell division.

At fertilization, a sperm contributes
a.
a diploid nucleus.
b.
mRNAs.
c.
a centrosome.
d.
nutrients.
Which of the following is true about Cleavage? Choose all possible answers
a. At the end of cleavage, a 32-cell zygote called morula is formed.
b. The angle and timing of mitotic spindle influence the pattern of embryonic cleavage.
c. Cleavage is a series of mitosis that happens after the formation of zygote.
d. The yolk protein is essential in determining where cleavage can occur
One day while walking across campus, you see a female butterfly laying fertilized eggs, as shown in the image below:
1. When the female butterfly’s eggs are fertilized, the fusion (2N) nucleus will divide repeatedly giving rise to cleavage nuclei, which:
a. can become trophocytes that migrate into the germarium and connect to the developing embryo by nutritive cords.
b. can migrate to the periplasm and become cleavage cells that ultimately give rise to the germ band and the serosa.
c. can migrate to the peripheral cytoplasm and become germ cells, which eventually move into the forming gonads and become oogonia or spermatogonia.
d. can remain in the yolk and become vitellophages that digest the yolk and make nutrients available to the forming embryo.
e. only b and c
f. only a and d
g. all except a
h. all except d
2. In the mature, unfertilized egg of the adult female butterfly:
a. bicoid mRNAs will congregate at the end of the…
