It takes an entire day for the zygote to go through its first mitosis.1 True False 2. Totipotent means that the cell’s DNA is completely open, so that any part of it can be read and copied.1 True False 3. “Morula” comes from the Greek word “morus” which means:1 berry bumpy small grape marble 4. Where does the first week of development occur?1 in the uterus in the fallopian tube in the ovary 5. Which is totipotent?1 any cell in the morula any stem cell the zygote a blastula cell 6. Which stage of development to scientist target for harvesting? (This would apply to experiments using mice, rats, and even sea urchins.)1 blastula morula zygote 7. Human and mammal eggs do not go through an hatching process, only bird and reptile eggs do this.1 True False 8. During the first week of development the number of cells increases but the overall size stays the same.1 True False 9. The development that happens in the first week is essentially the same in any type of animal.1 True False 10. The protective layer around the first-week developing cells is called the:1 membrane corona radiata zona pellucida chorion 11. The cells in a newborn baby’s body are still pluripotent.1 True False 12. Blastula and blastocyst mean the same thing.1 True False 13. What is an ectopic pregnancy?1 It's the same as a miscarriage, when the body expels the embryo. When the embryo is flushed out during menstruation. When the embryo develops outside the uterus. 14. What do gap junctions do?1 Provide an extremely flexible junction that will divide easily. Ensure that the cells will remain pluripotent. Allow a gap to open between cells so that oxygen can flow in. Allow cells to communicate by the exchange of cytosol. 15. The “inner cell mass” will grow to become the embyro (baby) and the cells in the outer ring will become the placenta and the outer sac.1 True False Lesson 26: Embryology Week 2 Back to: Lesson 25: Embryology Week 1
