once the lens has formed, it induces other tissues. One of these responding tissues is the optic vesicle itself; thus, the inducer becomes the induced. Under the influence of factors secreted by the lens, the optic vesicle becomes the optic cup, and the wall of the optic cup differentiates into two layers: the pigmented retina and the neural retina. such interactions are called as-

Regulation by gradients of paracrine factor concentration was elegantly demonstrated by the specification of different mesodermal cell types in the frog Xenopus laevis by activin, a paracrine factor of the TGF-beta family. Which of the following observations are correct from this graph?

Differentiated cells express the genes and proteins characteristic of their final identity in the adult, and that identity can be altered only under special circumstances. How does the concept of differentiation, as described here, differ from the concept of determination?

Upon secretion of wnt, When Wnt attaches to the Frizzled receptor on a responding cell, the cell secretes Notum, a hydrolase that associates with glypican and then cleaves off Wnt’s attached lipids in a process of deacylation or delipidation. This process:
