What is the relationship between dorso-ventral patterning of the neural tube and patterning of the somites

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. The somites pattern the neural tube after they form.
  2. The neural tube plays the role of organizer in being the sole influence on patterning in the somites
  3. Sonic hedgehog from the notochord and floorplate of the neural tube confers ventral fates on both the neural tube and the somite, while BMPs confer more dorsal fates.
  4. Both the neural tube and the somites acquire their dorso-ventral patterning during gastrulation

In birds, sex is determined by a ZW chromosome scheme. Males are ZZ and females are ZW. A recessive lethal allele that causes death of the embryo is sometimes present on the Z chromosome in pigeons. What would be the sex ratio in the offspring of a cross between a male that is heterozygous for the lethal allele and a normal female?

In some goats, the presence of horns is produced by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females. A horned female is crossed with a hornless male. The F1 offspring are intercrossed to produce the F2. What proportion of the F2 offspring will have horns?
