The pattern of neural structures in Xenopus that develop along the A-P axis is governed by signals of the
___ [D/V] mesoderm - correct answer The pattern of neural structures that
develop along the A-P axis is governed by signals of the *dorsal* mesoderm
What happens if you take one neurula portion of the Xenopus mesoderm and graft it to another portion
of gastrula? - correct answer Anterior mesoderm grafted onto early gastrula =
extra head w eyes and forebrain
Posterior mesoderm grafted onto early gastrula = trunk and tail w spinal cord
What does the neurula mesoderm graft experiment show about Xenopus mesoderm? - correct answer
they are regional specific because where you take a piece of mesoderm determines what structure it will
give rise to
XENOPUS:
Where are qualitative antagonists secreted from along the A-P mesodermal axis? - correct answer
Wnt antagonists = anterior endoderm and mesoderm beneath future head
BMP antagonist = mesoderm beneath head and trunk
XENOPUS:
The level of Wnt/b-catenin signalling increase from ___ to ___ - correct answer
The level of Wnt/b-catenin signalling increase from *anterior to posterior*
XENOPUS:
How does the inhibition of Wnt or BMP contribute to prospective head/trunk regions? - correct answer

XENOPUS:
When does the final body plan emerge during development? - correct answer

overlying a subgerminal space w layer of hypoblast cells on floor of cavity
what is the area opaca? - correct answer Area of deeper cells, does not form
the embryo
