The change in the developmental fates of different cell lineages in response to signals from adjacent tissues is
A) contact inhibition.
B) ooplasmic localization.
C) embryonic induction.
D) pattern formation.
E) all of these.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Embryonic induction is the process by which signals from adjacent tissues change the fate of neighboring cells, leading to the formation of different cell lineages. Contact inhibition refers to the cessation of cell division when cells come into contact with each other. Ooplasmic localization refers to the unequal distribution of cytoplasmic components during early embryonic development. Pattern formation refers to the establishment of spatial organization within tissues or organs.
