Transplantation of different regions of the presomitic mesoderm (PSM) to the limb field causes changes in limb size. Following statements are:
A. Transplanting PSM from the level of the presumptive forelimb to the flank (region between the forelimb and hindlimb) results in a larger forelimb bud.
B. Transplantation of PSM from the flank region to the level of the presumptive forelimb results in a smaller forelimb bud.
C. Transplanting PSM from the level of the presumptive forelimb to the flank (region between the forelimb and hindlimb) results in a smaller forelimb bud.
D. Transplantation of PSM from the flank region to the level of the presumptive forelimb results in a larger forelimb bud.

Normally, the FgfR3 protein (a receptor tyrosine kinase) is activated by a fibroblast growth factor and signals the chondrocytes to stop dividing and begin differentiating into cartilage. This signal is mediated by the Stat protein, which is phosphorylated by activated FgfR3 and then translocated into the nucleus. Inside the nucleus, Stat activates the genes encoding a cell cycle inhibitor, the p21 protein. The mutation in FgfR3 causes the lethal condition thanatophoric dysplasia. This condition may be achieved by:
A. Mutations in the extracellular domain of the FgfR3 protein
B. Mutations in the tyrosine kinase intracellular domain of the FgfR3 protein
C. Mutations in the transmembrane domain of the FgfR3 protein

The primitive streak is derived from epiblast cells and the central cells of Koller’s sickle. As the primitive streak extends rostrally, Henson’s node is formed. Following are few statements regarding this:
A. As endodermal ingression continues, the primitive streak starts to regress, moving Henson’s node from near the center of the area pellucida to a more posterior position.
B. As endodermal ingression continues, the primitive streak starts to regress, moving Henson’s node from near the periphery of the area pellucida to a more posterior position.
C. As mesodermal ingression continues, the primitive streak starts to regress, moving Henson’s node from near the center of the area pellucida to a more posterior position.
D. As mesodermal ingression continues, the primitive streak starts to regress, moving Henson’s node from near the periphery of the area pellucida to a more anterior position.
