Front Back
Single cell fertilized egg becomes an adult.
Embryogenesis
Pluripotent
Stem Cell
_ theory suggests that all structures exist from teh very beginning, they just get larger.
Preformatoin
_ theory states that new structures arise progressively by going through a series of different stages
Epigenesis
_ argues that the one-celled zygote contains specific DETERMINANTS that are distributed UNEQUALLY between the daughter cells.
Mosaic/Roux 1/2 frog embryo
_ argues that embryo can develop normally or regulate aspects of development even when some cells are lost.
Regulative development. Suggests interactions between cells of the developing embryo.
Spemann discovered _ by transplanting a specific region of the frog embryo to another. Results in duplication of head structures and secondary axis.
Induction//dorsal lip of blastopore
_proteins are often functionally interchangeable between very different species.
Homologous
Early embryo cells have greater _
Developmental potential.
This controls fate of resulting cells
Cytoplasmic/Nuclear localization
_ occurs whne a signal from one group of cells influence the development of another group of cells.
Induction
Induction is regulated by a _ displayed or emitted by neighboring cells
Substance
_ _ is the process by which adjacent cells receive and respond to the signal.
Signal Transduction
_ is the ability to respond to inductive signals
Competence
_ itself can be stage specific
Response
