Exercise 2
Review the Chapter Concepts list. These all center around concepts related to stages of development. Write a short essay based on these concepts that outlines the role of differential transcription, gene control of cell fate, and the role of signaling systems in development.
▪Gene expression during development is based on the differential transcription of selected genes.
▪Animals use a small number of shared signaling systems and regulatory networks to construct a wide range of adult body forms from the zygote. These shared properties make it possible to use animal models to study human development.
▪Differentiation is controlled by cascades of gene expression that are a consequence of events that specify and determine the developmental fate of cells.
▪Plants independently evolved developmental regulatory mechanisms that parallel those of animals.
▪In many organisms, binary switch genes program the developmental fate of embryonic cells.
