Explain the following observations. Be very specific with your
answer.
- When the optic cup is transplanted under head ectoderm, a lens
forms. But when the optic cup is transplanted under
flank ectoderm, no lens forms.
- When a piece of filter paper is inserted between head ectoderm
and the optic cup, no lens forms.
- Noggin secreting cells placed in lateral plate mesoderm causes
somites to form there.
- In embryos that are slug-/-, neural crest cells fail to
migrate.
- During chick development, if blood vessels are inhibited from
forming, bone development is significantly delayed.
- Portions of the notochord when transplanted above the somite
causes what normally forms dermatome and myotome to form
sclerotome.
- Antibodies that prevent NT3 from being active prevents
dermatome differentiation.
- Swallow -/- drosophila embryos form two anterior ends.
- Polar lobe removal in some species of snails results in embryos
with no mesoderm.
- Injecting nanos mRNA into the future anterior end creates a
drosophila embryo with two tails.
- A TCF3 mutation where TCF3 is missing its b-catenin binding
domain, get no dorsal axis forming.
- Injection of siamois into the ventral vegetal cells causes a
secondary axis to form
- Inject antibodies to dickkopf into embryos results
in an embryo with a deformed head – essentially no forebrain.
- Injection of excess b-catenin into the ventral side of an
oocyte, causes a secondary axis to form.
