The Genetic Basis of Development

Terms : Hide Images
organism choosen for study
gives rise to cells of different types and higher level structures
many mitotic cell devisions, the zygote gives rise to a large number of cells
cells become specialized in structure and function
the pphysical pricesses that give and oraganism its shape and constitute
all of the organisms all the same genes
describing a cell that can give rise to all parts of an organism
any cells that are not your sex cells
making a geniticall identical individual
removes the nucleus of an infertilized eff cell or zygote and replace it with the nucleus of a differentiated cell
older genes found in clone
the goal to reproduce new indivuals
unspecialized cell that can divide during a single division into one identical daughter cells
when a major aim of cloning is to produce embryonic stem cells to treat disease
progressive restriction of developmental potentioal, causing the possible fate of each cell to become more limited as the embryo develops
give the cell its chracteristic and structure and function
the maternal substances in the eff that influences the course of early development by regulating the expression of genes that affect the developmental fate of cells
the developmental of a spatial organization in which the tissues and organs of an orangism are all in their characerisitc places
mutations with phenotype causing death at the the embryonic or larval stage
results in a mutant phenotype in the offpsring , regardless of thier oen genotype
gap genes, pair rules genes, segment polarity
the anatomical identity of the segments is set by this master regulatory gene
turning off and on of specific genes
the ancestry of a cell
the helps direct daughter cells down the appropriate pathways
programmed cell death
organism with a micture of genetically different cells
plant homeotic genes that use positional information to determine which emerging leaves develop into which tpes of floral organs
180 nucleotide sequence withing homeotic genes and some other developmental genes that is widely conserved in animals
