If an optic vesicle from a Xenopus laevis embryo is placed underneath head ectoderm in a different part of the head from where the frog’s optic vesicle normally occurs then what happens?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. the optic vesicle will induce that ectoderm to form lens tissue.
  2. the optic vesicle will not induce that ectoderm to form lens tissue
  3. the optic vesicle will inhibit that ectoderm to form lens tissue
  4. the optic vesicle will induce that ectoderm to form other tissues rather than lens
