Question
Chapter 50.5, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The key cellular events that contribute to morphogenesis in animals.
Introduction:
Morphogenesis is the process of formation of shapes during animal development. It controls cell growth, differentiation, and distribution of the cells during the embryonic development in an organism.

What specific molecular factors determine the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into different cell types during development?
What statement best describes the difference between "fate maps" and "specification"?
If cells are transplanted from their normal region in an embryo to a different region in a recipient embryo, such cells will alter their fate, but not their specification.
Cell fate map describes the allocation of cells to the germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm, whereas specification describes the exact tissues that each cell will ultimately become.
The fate map of an embryo does not change during development -- the fate map of an egg is the same as the fate map of a late blastula -- whereas the specification map of an embryo changes continually as the embryo's development proceeds.
The fate map of a cell is determined by labelling that cell and following it during normal development, whereas the specification state of a cell is determined by culturing a cell in an artificial medium and observing what tissues form from it.
Why is cytokinesis important during the embryonic development?

In such an experiment, a scientist transplanted somites 20, 21, and 22 from the right side of the neural tube from five-day-old developing quail embryos into chick embryos. The transplantation was performed in two orientations so that the order of the somites was sometimes reversed. Use the passage to answer the question. Suppose that somite stem cells commit to their cell fates by three days post fertilization. Which result would be MOST likely in the chick embryos receiving somites transplanted in the reverse order? A. The organs arising from quail somites develop in a normal order because local signaling molecules appropriately pattern the developing organs. B. The organs arising from quail somites develop in a normal order because transcriptional programs activated in the nucleus cannot be reversed.…arrow_forwardA classical experiment studying the fate determination of stem cells in the developing embryo uses the transplantation of somites from one organism to another.
