To measure the population of lake trout in a 250 hectare lake, 200 individuals were netted and marked with a fin clip, and then returned to the lake. The next week, the lake is netted again, and out of the 200 lake trout that are caught, 50 have fin clips. Using the capture-recapture estimate, the lake trout population size could be closest to which of the following?

In drosophila, Physical forces drive invagination of the ventral furrow. Following statements regarding to this process:

A. The cellularized blastoderm will begin to activate higher levels of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline and preferentially at their apical surface.

B. Epithelial adhesions paired with differential activation of dynein and tissue geometry create mechanical constraints that affect the orientation of actomyosin meshworks.

C. The A/P oriented arrays of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline generate tension along the anterior-posterior axis.

D. The combination of tissue geometry and tension of these anterior-to-posterior meshworks cause the tissue to fold outward at a right angle to the anterior-posterior axis, creating a long and narrow ventral furrow.

Which of the following statements are incorrect?

In humans, neural tube closure defects occur in about 1 in every 1000 live births. Failure to close the neural tube can result from both genetic and environmental causes. A recent report has demonstrated that zinc deficiency disrupts neural tube closure by:

During xenopus gastrulation, C3a functions as a short-range chemoattractant to guide the radial intercalation movements of cells. If Knockdown of C3a with antisense morpholinos results:
