In chicks, the formation of the neural tube relies on what cell biological processes?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Changes in cell shape in the neural plate are the only process required for neural tube formation.
  2. Changes in adhesiveness between the prospective neural tube cells and the prospective epidermis in the ectoderm are the only changes required for neural tube formation.
  3. Both changes in cell shape in the neural plate and changes in adhesion molecule expression in the neural tube are required during formation of the neural tube.
  4. Prospective neural tube cells in the ectoderm undergo medio-lateral intercalation, then involute and form the neural tube.
