When presomitic mesoderm (PSM) that would ordinarily form thoracic somites is transplanted into a region in a younger embryo (caudal to the first somite) that would ordinarily give rise to cervical (neck) somites, the grafted mesoderm differentiates according to its original position and forms ribs in the neck. This phenomena is called as:

There are two broad categories of receptors that activate tyrosine kinases: (1) those in which the tyrosine kinase enzyme is an intrinsic part of the receptor’s polypeptide chain, called the_________ and (2) those, in which the receptor and kinase are separate polypeptides, encoded by different genes, yet are bound tightly together, called the __________.

Following statements regarding to the Ectodermal competence and the ability to respond to the optic vesicle inducer in Xenopus.

A. The optic vesicle is able to induce lens formation in the posterior portion of the ectoderm but not in the anterior portion.

B. If the optic vesicle is removed, the surface ectoderm forms either an abnormal lens or no lens at all.

C. Only head ectoderm is competent to respond to the signals from the optic vesicle by producing a lens.

D. The head ectoderm appears to secrete two paracrine factors BMP 4 and FGF8, which involves in the activation of lens-specific genes such as crystallin.
