Egg cylinder
An asymmetric structure that helps to determine the body plan for the mouse
Primitive endoderm & Visceral endoderm
also known as the as the hypoblast, responisible for creating extra-embryonic ectoderm and WNT signaling to epiblast
Extra-embryonic ectoderm
created by primitive Endoderm, considered yolk of the egg
Embryonic ectoderm/epiblast
tissue that all cells body arise from
Primitive streak
created by epiblast and gives rise to embryonic endoderm and mesoderm
Blimp (Prdm1)
gene activated by BMP in PGCs, keeps them pluripotent, stops apoptosis
Prdm14
gene activated by BMP in PGCs, keeps them pluripotent and silences chromatin
Apoptosis
programmed cell death
Alkaline phosphatase
enzyme that helps to track PGCs
Egg cylinder
An asymmetric structure that helps to determine the body plan for the mouse

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?
WNT and BMP
Hindgut
area behind the gut where the PGCs migrate too
Venus
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

WNT and 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?
Somatic mesoderm cells are multipotent while germ cells are pluripotent
