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