Following statements are regarding to the establishment of ventral axis in Drosophila.
A. Ventral follicle cells synthesize Pipe. Pipe signal sulfates ventral vitelline proteins.
B. GD cleaves Snake to its active form and forms a complex with Snake and uncleaved Easter proteins.
C. Sulfated vitelline membrane proteins bind Gastrulation-defective (GD).
D. Easter protein is cleaved into its active form. Cleaved Easter binds to and cleaves Spätzle; activated Spätzle binds to Toll receptor protein.
E. Dorsal protein enters the nucleus and ventralizes the cell.
F. Toll activation activates Tube and Pelle, which phosphorylate the Cactus protein. Cactus is degraded, releasing it from Dorsal.

#Question id: 7201
#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
Many of the cell and tissue movements in Xenopus
gastrulation happen simultaneously. Still identify the different types of
behaviors that occur during Xenopus gastrulation:
A. Epiboly: The thinning
and spreading of the animal cap cells over the vegetal hemisphere, powered by
proliferation and radial intercalation.
B. Vegetal rotation:
Vegetal cells asymmetrically press up against the inner blastocoel roof on the
dorsal side.
C. Bottle cell formation
and invagination: The leading edge of invaginating cells crawls up onto the
blastocoel roof.
D. Involution and cell
migration: Localized apical constriction at the dorsal blastopore lip creates
anisotropic forces that foster invagination.
E. Convergence and
extension: The targeted medial-to-lateral intercalation of cells on the midline
(convergence) drives anterior-posterior axis elongation (extension).
Which of the following definition are correct according to their process?

Identify
the correct match of the modes of regeneration (column I) with their definition
(column II)
|
Column I |
Column II |
|
A. Stem
cell-mediated regeneration |
i. Through
the re-patterning of existing tissues. There is often little new growth but
rather cell death and a change in cell type (i.e., transdifferentiation into
a different cell fate). This results in a rescaling of the whole organism as
well as regeneration of the missing part. |
|
B. Epimorphosis |
ii. The
differentiated cells divide but maintain their differentiated functions. The
new cells do not come from stem cells, nor do they come from the
dedifferentiation of adult cells. |
|
C. Morphallaxis |
iii. Adult
structures can undergo dedifferentiation to form a relatively
undifferentiated mass of cells (a blastema) that then redifferentiates during
morphogenesis of the new structure. |
|
D. Compensatory
regeneration |
iv. Stem
cells allow an organism to regrow certain organs or tissues that have been
lost. |

Following statements are given regarding to the genes in Drosophila.
A. The anterior posterior compartment of each segment of drosophila is regulated by the expression of engrailed and wingless genes.
B. The gap genes are activated or repressed by the maternal effect genes, and are expressed in one or two broad domains along the anterior-posterior axis.
C. The transcription patterns of the anterior gap genes are initiated by the different concentrations of the Hunchback and Bicoid proteins.
D. The segment polarity genes encode proteins that are constituents of the delta-notch and Hedgehog signaling pathways.
E. After the segmental boundaries are set, the pair-rule and gap genes interact to regulate the homeotic selector genes, which specify the characteristic structures of each segment.
Which one of following option has all the correct statements?

Following statements are regarding to anterior-posterior polarity in planaria.
A. The anterior expression of Notum functions to antagonize the posteriorly produced Wnt, leading to head specification.
B. Regulation of the balance between Wnt and Notum signals may underlie not only head-tail specification but also regulation of organ size.
C. In addition, there appears to be an anterior-to-posterior gradient of Erk signaling that functions as a positive inducer of tail specification.
D. Wnt signaling achieves its repression of head regeneration by inhibiting Erk. Therefore, only in those more anterior regions lacking Wnt (due to Notum’s repression of Wnt) can Erk induce head regeneration.
Which of the following statements are incorrect?
