34 Questions
What process did Metzhakov observe in sea urchins?
Ingression
What did the independent observations of Metzhakov and the other researcher reveal?
Both were correct in their observations
What processes occur in Amphioxis and sea urchins during early stages of embryogenesis?
Vagination and ingression
What is the main reason for the difficulty in explaining the experiments involving green fluorescent cells?
The requirement to make a transgenic animal that fluoresces in all its cells
What distinguishes the amino acid sequences in the protein of quails from that of chickens?
They are distinct from each other
What is a significant challenge associated with visualizing quail cells compared to chicken cells?
The inability to target a specific protein in quail cells
What is the main difference between involution and epiboly?
Involution involves local action, while epiboly involves large scale movement of cells.
What is the characteristic feature of delamination in the context of embryonic development?
Formation of an inner layer from the outer layer.
How does the process of epiboly differ from involution and delamination?
Epiboly involves large scale systemic level movement, while involution and delamination are local events.
In which direction is the embryo being sliced to produce the transverse section?
Horizontally
Which part of the embryo is described as 'belly down'?
Ventral
What system is located 'up here' in the transverse section of the embryo?
Nervous system
What is described as occurring at 'bottleneck points' in development according to the text?
Both a and b
What experimental technique is mentioned in the text as a way to perform lineage tracing?
Fluorescent markers
In the context of embryonic development, which scientist's drawings supported the theory that gastrulation evolved via ingression?
Drawings of Élie Metchnikoff
What did Ernst Haeckel's illustrations support the theory of in the context of embryonic development?
Gastrulation evolved via invagination
What is the main focus of Figure 8.5 in the provided text?
Cell movements during gastrulation
At what stage do all vertebrate embryos converge on a common structure?

What do sea squirts (tunicates) have in common with other chordates?
Dorsal nervous system and a notochord
What did phylogenetics confirm about sea squirts (tunicates)?
They are chordates
What is the significance of Tiktaalik roseae in the context of animal evolution?
It showed characteristics of both fish fins and amphibian forelimbs
What do the homologous supporting structures in a human arm, a seal forelimb, a bird wing, and a bat wing indicate?
They are all homologous as wings
What does the term 'analogous' refer to in the context of bird and bat forelimbs as wings?
They evolved independently of each other
What do tunicates lack, which cephalochordates and vertebrates have?
Somites
What did Archaeopteryx exhibit that made it distinctive?
Feathered wings
What do the adaptations of bird and bat forelimbs to flight indicate about their wings?
They are analogous but not homologous
