Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of a fate map in zebrafish research?

  • To study the deep cell movements during epiboly.
  • To track cell lineage mixing throughout gastrulation.
  • To identify cells giving rise to specific tissues at the blastoderm stage. (correct)
  • To determine the exact moment of germ ring formation.

What causes the flattening of the dome of blastoderm cells during early gastrulation?

  • Migration of germ rings to the animal pole.
  • Movement of yolk cells downward.
  • Expansion of the embryonic shield.
  • Intercalation of deep cells with surface cells. (correct)

What do germ rings and embryonic shields represent in the early gastrula of loach embryos?

  • Regions where cell fate is determined.
  • Structures involved in cellular differentiation.
  • Sites of rapid cell division.
  • Landmarks indicating specific developmental stages. (correct)
