What happens when a piece of tissue from the green-shaded area of a frog embryo is transplanted to another location on another early frog embryo?
What happens when a piece of tissue from the green-shaded area of a frog embryo is transplanted to another location on another early frog embryo?
- It becomes a different type of tissue determined by its original location
- It becomes a different type of tissue determined by its new environment (correct)
- It retains its broad developmental potential
- It becomes part of the skin of the tadpole larva
