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:

Match the following proteins (Column I) with their function (Column II). Which of the following is correct?
Column I |
Column II |
a. Profilin |
i. binds to the (+) end of an actin filament,
thereby inhibiting subunit addition or loss. |
b. Cofilin |
ii. blocks (−) ends, inhibits filament disassembly, to
stabilize filaments |
c. Thymosin-β4 |
iii. involved in actin treadmilling, but it binds
specifically to F-actin in which the subunits contain ADP |
d. Cap Z |
iv. binds ADP–G-actin and catalyzes the exchange of
ADP for ATP |
e. Tropomodulin |
v. binds to ATP–G-actin in such a way that it
inhibits addition of the actin subunit to either end of the filament. |
