Study Notes
Oogenesis and Embryonic Development
- During oogenesis, Staufen protein is responsible for setting up cytoplasmic polarity.
Gene Regulation and Expression
- The bicoid gene is responsible for determining the positions of gap genes.
Embryonic Pattern Formation
- The transcription factor protein Dorsal is present in the ventral side of the embryo.
Signaling Pathways
- The protein Toll represses the Zen pathway.
Gene Activation and Expression
- The gene twist is activated by Dorsal and is only present in most FGF and Riddle/Palmeirim cells.
