Lecture 2 Flashcards
(77 cards)
directive influence that determines the course of normal development
Preformed
Influences that affect preformation
Maternal genes and cytoplasm
Zygotic genes
direct initial developmental stages
Maternal and egg cytoplasm
Diretive development after cleavage
Zygotic genes
products of the genes, includes the environmental factors
Progressively formed
- States that Each cell in the body has the same genetic material.
- Therefore, all the information necessary to produce a complete organism can be seen in any of our cells.
Genomic equivalance
Where is genomic mosaicism mostly seen
In brain cells (esp. neurons)
Studies have shows that single neuron shows diverse alterations in DNA
- The ability of a cell to differentiate into other cell types
- The restriction of nuclear potency
Cell potency
Types of cell potency
- Totipotency
- Pluropotency
- Multipotency
total capacity of a cell to give rise to a complete embryo
Totipotency
- direct the entire development of the organism
- true for cells in the early stages of development
Totipotency
ability to give rise to several types of cells,but
not all -> incomplete embryo
Pluripotency
ability to differentiate into multiple cell lineages, but only to a restricted family of closely related cell types
Multipotency
the property of a particular cell, such as a stem cell, to give rise to multiple distinct cell types.
Differentiation potency
Examples of Totipotent cells
- Cell produced from sperm and egg up to stage of Morula
Example of Pluripotency
Embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem
Examples of Multipotent cells
Hematopoietic stem cells
can give rise to all blood cells but not other tissue types such as neurons, muscle, or epithelium
Hematopoetic stem cells
Steps for amphibian cloning
- A glass needle and pipette will remove chromosomes and spindle from cell
- A donor nucleus will be inserted into enucleated cell
- Somatic cell nucleus in an activated egg
Steps for cloning mammals in the context of dolly the lamb
- Started as single cell in test tube
- Nucleus was collected from a sheep (Finn dorset)
- Fused into an empty or enucleated oocyte from another sheep (Scotting blackface)
- Normal development from confirmed
- Implanted in a surrogate mother
The species of sheep where nucleus was collected
Finn Dorset sheep
The species of sheep where empty or enucleated oocyte was fused
- Scottish blackface
- Generation of cellular diversity.
- The process by which a cell becomes different in structure & function.
Cell Differentiation
A gene produced wen the body only needs it
