Introduction: Gastrointestinal tract also called the digestive tract formation starts in the third week of the pregnancy. This tract extends from the buccopharyngeal membrane to the cloacal membrane.

Answer to Problem 6TY
Correct answer: In vertebrates, the digestive tract forms from the archenteron. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
Archenteron is also called the primitive gut and it develops from the vegetal plate which undergoes the process of primary invagination. After the primary invagination, the archenteron undergoes secondary invagination for the elongation. This elongation is responsible for extension of the gastrointestinal tract from the buccopharyngeal membrane to the cloacal membrane.
Option c. is given as “the archenteron.”
The digestive tract in vertebrates, forms from the archenteron. Hence, the correct answer is option c..
Reason for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as “the blastopore.”
Blastopore is the site for the initiation of the gastrulation in an embryo. It does not form a complete digestive tract. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as “the dorsal lip.”
The dorsal lip is responsible for the formation of notochords in vertebrates. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as “the mesoderm”
The mesoderm is responsible for the development of organs in the body of the vertebrate, but it is not responsible for the digestive tract formation. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Option e. is given as, “both a and d.”
The blastophore only forms the opening of the gastrulation tract and mesoderm forms the vital organs of the body. Hence, option e. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., b., d. and e. are incorrect.
Archenteron give rise to digestive tract in vertebrates.

- "One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forwardIf four babies are born on a given day What is the chance all four will be girls?

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward
