Inductive is the causal relationship that
|
exists between 2 events such that the presence and action of one tissue is necessary for development of 2nd tissue

|
increase in cell number (proliferation) or cell size
|
|
Cell death
|
cells are removed in a precisely regulated manner and cell death is under genetic contro.

|
any change in the shape or location of a cell or tissue ie gastrulation

|
Patterning

establishment of programmed subsets of cells in proper relatioship to each other and surrounding cells and tissues
|
|
Tissue interactions
|
signaling that typically occur between adjacent tissues
|
|
Epigenetics
|
study of heritable changes in gene function that occur without a change in the sequence of the DNA ie methylation, and chromatin remodeling
|
|
In embryonic development, epigenetics refers to
|
X chromosome inactivation
|
|
Epigenetically marked genes refer to genes that
|
have one copy turned off and only one is functional.
|
|
Euploid
|
exact multiples of n
|
|
Genomic imprinting can occur with
|
DNA methylation (covalent), DNA protein and DNA/RNA interactions (non-covalent) and genomic localization in nuclear space
|
|
Genomic imprinting is dependent on
|
whether it resided in a male or female in the previous generation.
|
|
Imprinted expression can vary
|
between tissues, developmental stages, and species,.
|
|
Genomic imprinting is a form of
|
epigenic processing of genetic material
|
