Sequence of amphibian lens induction postulated by experiments on embryos of the frog Xenopus laevis ; EXCEPT

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Unidentified inducers (possibly from the foregut endoderm and cardiac mesoderm) cause the synthesis of the Otx2 transcription factor in the head ectoderm during the late neurula stage.
  2. As the neural folds rise, inducers from the anterior neural plate (including the region that will form the retina) induce Pax6 expression in the anterior ectoderm that can form lens tissue.
  3. As the neural folds rise, inducers from the anterior neural plate (including the region that will form the retina) induce Pax6 expression in the anterior ectoderm that can form lens tissue.
  4. The optic vesicle secretes BMP and FGF family paracrine factors, which induce the synthesis of the Sox transcription factors and initiate observable lens formation

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

You capture several interesting insects from a population in your yard. By inbreeding, you develop true breeding strains that differ only in the shape of their wings - one strain has round wings while the other strain has oval wings. How might you demonstrate that Mendel's principles apply to your insects?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

I know that black coat color in mice is dominant to albino. Black mice get a higher price at the pet store so I am disappointed when I cross a black mouse with an albino mouse and get 6 albino and 2 black mice in the litter. I expected all black. What mistake did I make?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

I do a chi square analysis of the offspring from my cross of a black mouse and albino mouse. If the black mouse was heterozygous I should have expected a 1:1 ratio, and I got 6 albino and 2 black mice. What is my chi square value?
