Question

Mosaic development in animals_____________.
a. is a type in which each of the fate of a blastomere is heavily determined by its neighbor cells.b. is synonymous with regulative development.c. is a type in which each of the early blastomeres lacks the potential of developing into a complete organism and removing a blastomere eliminates a future body part.d. Two but not three of the above are correcte. None of the choices is correct

Answer 1

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Each of the blastomeres lack the potential of developing into a complete organism meaning each cell in the developing embryo during develop is specialized into forming a specific part of the body and if moved to another region other than where it is supposed to be will still form that specific part that it was specialized to form. The cells have an autonomous specialization that is not dependent on cell-cell interaction and the removal of the particular blastomere might lead to the loss of a particular body part.
