Hindgut
|
area behind the gut where the PGCs migrate too
|
|
Embryonic Stem Cell
|
Pluripotent Stem Cells that are removed from inner cell mass that are cultured in a way to remain pluripotent
|
|
Venus
|
flourescent gene
|
|
How do correlative and Functional evidence differ?
|
functional evidence is a when you remove something and event doesn't happen or when you add something and the event occurs, loss of function and gain of function respectively where as correlative evidence is when there is a link between to events and you infer that one event brings about the other
|
|
Hindgut
|
area behind the gut where the PGCs migrate too
|
|
2. Where do primordial germ cells originate?
|
From the epiblast
|
|
Embryonic Stem Cell
|
Pluripotent Stem Cells that are removed from inner cell mass that are cultured in a way to remain pluripotent
|
|
3. What signal(s) are required for specification of primordial germ cells?

flourescent gene
|
|
Embryonic Stem Cell
|
Pluripotent Stem Cells that are removed from inner cell mass that are cultured in a way to remain pluripotent
|
|
4. Which tissues produce these signals? Which tissues respond to the signal(s)?
|
Extraembryonic cells produce BMP signal while Visceral Endoderm produces WNT signal, epiblast responds to these signals. WNT allows the epiblast cells competence to respond to BMP
|

|
6. How do Blimp1 (Prdm1) and Prdm14 regulate primordial germ cell fate determination?
|
blimp1 keeps cells pluripotent with sox2 and nanog, stops apoptosis with Nanos 3, prdm14 keeps pluripotency by chromatin silencing sox 2
|
|
7. How do primordial germ cells differ from somatic mesoderm cells?
