On day 5 of development, blastomeres in the late blastocyst give rise to the mesoderm layer. A) True B) False
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether the statement about blastomeres in the late blastocyst giving rise to the mesoderm layer on day 5 of development is true or false. It is important to understand the stages of embryonic development to evaluate the accuracy of the statement.
Answer
False
The final answer is False
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is False
More Information
At day 5, the embryo is still in the blastocyst stage prior to gastrulation, which is when the mesoderm and other germ layers form. The mesoderm layer arises during gastrulation, not earlier in the blastocyst stage.
Tips
A common mistake is to conflate the blastocyst stage with gastrulation, where the mesoderm forms.
