Textbook Question
Chapter 50, Problem 9TYK
In the embryonic development of the eye:
a. the optic vesicle cells permanently adhere to each other to prevent movement, whereas the optic cup cells are very motile.
b. the optic cup induces the surface ectoderm to form the lens placode.
c. gradients determine that the ectoderm overlying the lens vesicle develops into the optic vesicle.
d. microtubules powered by myosins and microfilaments powered by dyneins move the eye components around in the head region.
e. cadherins function in the presence of calcium to allow the lens placode and optic cup to break apart.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
