6. In all vertebrate embryos, the process of gastrulation accomplishes the following important function(s):
a) Patterning the anterior-posterior axis (TRUE/FALSE)
b) Bringing mesodermal cells into the interior of the embryo (TRUE/FALSE)
c) Bringing ectodermal cells into the interior of the embryo (TRUE/FALSE)
The gastrulation of the vertebrate embryo is a significent phse because the three germ cell layer Endoderm,Ectoderm & Mesoderm got separated and arranged in this phase which further develops and give rise to the body parts.
a) In Gastrulation when the cells differentiate and forms the neuronal tube it brings out the pattern of the anterior and posterior axis,specific gene (Hox) plays an important role in this type of pattern formation.
So this option is-TRUE.
b) The Grastrulation phase is important for differentiation and adjustment of the layers in specific position so that they can form the body parts. The Mesoderm layer forms tissue like the muscle,bone and connective tissue,this Mesoderm layer adjusted in the interior of the embryo.
So this option is-TRUE.
c) The ectoderm layer is the outermost layer,it forms tissue like- skin,hair,nail,neuron,pigment cells etc.
So this option is-FALSE
