In which way is the organizer region of the sea urchin similar to that in frogs?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. The organizer induces the dorso-ventral axis.
  2. The organizer forms near the dorsal lip of the blastopore.
  3. The organizer accumulates -catenin, which in turn activates the expression of cell-cell signaling molecules.
  4. The organizer will become the mesoderm.

In drosophila, Physical forces drive invagination of the ventral furrow. Following statements regarding to this process:

A. The cellularized blastoderm will begin to activate higher levels of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline and preferentially at their apical surface.

B. Epithelial adhesions paired with differential activation of dynein and tissue geometry create mechanical constraints that affect the orientation of actomyosin meshworks.

C. The A/P oriented arrays of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline generate tension along the anterior-posterior axis.

D. The combination of tissue geometry and tension of these anterior-to-posterior meshworks cause the tissue to fold outward at a right angle to the anterior-posterior axis, creating a long and narrow ventral furrow.

In humans, neural tube closure defects occur in about 1 in every 1000 live births. Failure to close the neural tube can result from both genetic and environmental causes. A recent report has demonstrated that zinc deficiency disrupts neural tube closure by:
