____ - refers to a series of changes in the state of the cell, tissue, organ or organism
Development
Underlying process that gives rise to the structure and function of living organisms
Development
____ aimed at understanding how gene expression controls this process

____-

Development
____ occurs before ____- cells function and morphology have permanently changed into a highly specialized cell type
Commitment
differentiation
____ – large chromosomes, big enough easy to work with
Fruit fly
____ – multicellular organism that we know excruciating details that form the first zygote we know the fate of every cell in the organism, and the reverse where every single cell in the adult cam from
Roundworm
____, Simplest that we know about, drosophila is the next simplest..
Roundworm
Often can track this because add dye to an initial progenitor cell and see where the dye itself migrates.
pattern of cell division and fate of each cell
____ – do not know developmental patterns nearly as much, because it is much more complex.
House mouse
____, look at their eggs easier to do because of big eggs.

root-shoot
radial
Once you get past the point where all the cells are the same, it is now about ____ that will dictate your fate.
where you are
Originally a cell is ___- can be any cell in the body
totipotent
Initial part of ____ is forming a body and setting in place formation with 3 axes.
development
_____ –
Not only going from 1 to a whole lot of cells, but creating an organism with a specific form.
Pattern formation
A ____ pattern of development takes place.
synchronized
3 body axes...
dorso ventral – is front and back
anteroposterior is top and bottom (human head and butt)
right-left
Pattern formation –
May also be ____. (in higher animals, see segmentation only in early development)
segmented
____ - has differentiated enough form their neighbors that there is now cells that they cannot differentiate into, and some that they can differentiate into
Pluripotent
____, originally ectoderm versus endoderm and then onto muscle cell versus liver cell etc.
Differentiation
Cell responds to signal, may receive ____ signal ex. Originally webbing between fingers that is killed off to get the nice digits we have.
apoptosis
Each cell receives ____ that tells it where ot go and what to become
positional information
Cell may respond by
Cell division,
cell migration,
cell differentiation
cell death (apoptosis)
Positional information -
Each cell in the body will become appropriate cell type based on its ____
relative position
____ -
Group of bid working towards creating a limb, one move towards differentiation to create the limb, then further differentiation within that limb for all the different cell types .
Limb bud differentiation
A protein and its ____ as it moves though the hand differentiates the differences between the fingers, starting at the pinky and then towards the thumb
concentration gradient
Differential gene expression in the cells
____ affect each other
Gene expression is affected by the chemical messengers
Neighboring cells
____- proteins that are involved in more differentiation.
Morphogens
____ - cells that are stuck to each other can communicate with each other
Cell adhesion
2 main mechanisms used to communicate positional information to cells during development -
morphogens
cell adhesion.
____ dependent matter - ex fingers on hand..
Concentration
Morphogens are present in the ____, (waiting to tell the zygote what to do and how to do it)
unfertilized egg
____ - give postional information and promote cellular changes
Morphogens
____ - act in a concentration dependent manner with a critical threshold concentration
Morphogens
Are distributed asymmetrically, in the oocyte or egg precursor, in the embryo by secretion and transport
Morphogens
____ - cells govern fate of neighboring cells.
Induction
____ - asymmetric synthesis and extracellular distribution of a morphogen
Induction
____ distribution of morphogens in the ____.
Assymmetric
oocyte
____ "one side is the developing stuff and the other is the yolk to feed it"
animal pole and vegetable pole
____ - each cell makes its own cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)
Cell adhesion
____ of a cell within a multicellular organism is strongly influenced by the combination of ____ it makes with other cells and with the ____
Positioning
contacts
extracellular matrix
Highly synchronized pattern of ____ being formed, then gene expression of other proteins.
transcription factors
Compare fruit fly to human, certain ____ are similar, many of the core regulators that are there for the fruit fly are also there for the mammal.
transcription factors
____ - certain genes expressed at specific phase of development in a particular cell type
Differential gene regulation
Four general phases for body formation -
SBAM
Organize body along major axes
Organize into smaller regions (organs, legs)
Cells organize to produce body parts
Cells themselves change morphologies and become differentiated
Parallel between phases and expression of specific ____
