How did the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain change over the course of evolution? Be specific. You must tell me how the three-part brain evolved into a 5-part brain (which is a hint in and of itself). What are two functions of each?

At 4th week, cephalic end of the neural tube develops 3 dilations. These are called primary brain vesicles. Craniocaudally these are prosencephalon (forebrain), mesencephalon (midbrain), rhombencephalon (hindbrain). When embryo is 5 weeks old, prosencephalon develop 2 parts - telencephalon (consisting of the 2 primitive cerebral hemispheres with a mid portion) and diencephalon (later develop into metathalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus and epithalamus, subthalamus). The telencephalon covers the diencephalon. The rhombencephalon also develops 2 parts - metencephalon (later develop into pons and cerebellum) and myelencephalon( develops into medulla oblongata . Thus there are 5 secondary brain vesicles.

Snakes have lost their limbs over the course of evolution. Recent data show a reduction in Shhexpression in their limb fields due to loss of a portion of the limb enhancer, noting that other enhancers remain intact. First, indicate whether this is an example of heterotopy, heterochrony, heterometry, or heterotypy, defining your chosen term. Second, describe how you might use the mouse embryo as a model system to test the hypothesis that this reduction in Shh expression in the limb...

Evolution is a change in the frequency of heritable traits in a population over time. Defined more narrowly, it is the change in allele frequencies over time. The field of population genetics is concerned with alleles that exist within populations and how the proportions of different alleles change over time. Charles Darwin’s major contribution to our understanding of the natural world was to recognize that organisms within a population vary in heritable traits that affect their ability to survive and reproduce. This process...
