Following statements are regarding to convergent extension of the dorsal mesoderm in xenopus.

A. For convergent extension the first force is a polarized cell cohesion wherein the involuted mesodermal cells intercalate and the second force is differential cell cohesion.

B. The intercalations of mesodermal cells, both mediolaterally and radially, are stabilized by the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway that is initiated by Wnts independent of β-catenin signaling.

C. The intercalations of mesodermal cells, are stabilized by the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway that is initiated by Wnts dependent of β-catenin signaling.

D. Another factor regulating convergent extension is calcium influx from environment.

E. Ca2+ is released from intracellular stores and is required for convergent extension.

True breeding agouti mice with genotype AABB were cross to true breeding albino mice with genotype aabb. All F1 offspring having agouti phenotype were allowed to intercross to produce F2 progeny as following 

                                 A- B -          agouti,

                                 aa B-            black

                                 --  bb            albino

Following statements are regarding to the drosophila.

 A. At the completion of oogenesis, the bicoid message is anchored at the anterior end of the oocyte and the nanos message is tethered to the posterior end in translationally dormant condition.

 B. The translation inhibitors Smaug and CUP. Smaug binds to the 3’UTR of both bicoid and nanos mRNA and recruits the CUP protein that prevents the association of the message with the ribosome as well as recruiting other proteins that deadenylate the message and target it for degradation.

 C. The bicoid-Exuperantia complex is transported out of the nurse cells and into the oocyte via microtubules (Kinesin ATPase).

 D. Two other maternally provided mRNAs—caudal and hunchback are critical for patterning the anterior and posterior regions of the body plan, respectively.
