Gravity rearranges cytoplasm so that the junction of vegetal pole cortex with animal pole cytoplasm is next to sperm entry point instead of opposite it.Sperm entry pointgray crescentSperm entry point1. Rotate egg so that sperm entry point is now on top.2. Prevent normal cortical rotation4. Gastrulation now occurs next to sperm entry pointHow is cell fate determined-- the dorsal-ventral axis in newts p. 305Spemann & Mangold: the organizer can influence neighboring cells toform a secondary body axis:Figure 10.19Induction of theorganizer can influence neighboring cells to form a secondary body axis:Figure 10.21If one transplants a second inducerof the organizer the embryo forms two body axesFigure 10.21Neurulation separates the ectoderm intoneural and epidermal cell fatesFigure 21.25 Essential Cell BiologyNeurulation is driven by cell shape and adhesion changes similar to those that drive gastrulationNeural tube formationDorsal-Most CellsFigure 12.3Neural tube closure: finishing the jobDefects in neural tube closure are among the most common birth defectsNumbers indicate regions of neural tube closure.Figure 12.5It is estimated that 50% of human neural tube defects would be prevented if all women of childbearing age take supplemental folic acid(vitamin B12)400 g/dayMother cellCell type ACell type BCell divisionInformation from neighbors:Induction: information from neighbors influences cell fateinducerresponderinducerresponderCompetence: ability to respond to a certaininductive signalCell not competent to respondresponderinducerSuccesive inductions: can generate many cell types from just a few interactionsCell not competent to respondTypes of signalsInducerResponderRelease into the Fallopian tubeSignals can act globally throughout the bodySignals can also actin a graded fashionInduction:An initial difference can beamplified into many cell typesLocal signaling:induction of mesoderm in the frog embryoAnimal poleVegetal poleInitial asymmetry of Xenopus egg leads to some cell fate differencesMesoderm arises at endoderm/ectoderm junctionExperiment: Neither vegetal or animal pole alone can make mesoderm. Figure 10.20Vegetal pole cells can induce animal pole cells to make mesodermConclusion: a signal in the vegetal part is needed to induce mesoderm in the animal cap.
