A student encounters an animal embryo at the eight-cell stage. The four smaller cells that comprise 1 hemisphere of the embryo seem to be rotated 45 ° and to lie in the grooves between larger, underlying cells. If we were to separate these eight cells and attempt to culture them individually, then what is most likely to happen? A. All eight cells will die immediately. B. Each cell may continue development, but only into a nonviable embryo that lacks many parts. C. Each cell may develop into a full-sized, normal embryo. D. Each cell may develop into a smaller-than-average, but otherwise normal, embryo.

Respuesta :

Option (B) Each cell may continue development, but only into a nonviable embryo that lacks many parts is correct.

What is an Embryo?

  • A multicellular organism's embryo represents the initial stage of development.
  • Embryonic development is the phase of life cycle that starts right after the male sperm cell fertilizes the female egg cell in sexually reproducing animals.
  • Until the ninth week after conception, a human embryo is commonly referred to as a fetus instead of a freshly developing human.
  • The term "embryo" can refer to any early developmental or life cycle stage that occurs before birth or hatching in other multicellular animals.
  • Fossilized animal embryos have been discovered since the Precambrian and were prevalent during the Cambrian.
  • Even dinosaur embryos preserved in fossil form have been found.
  • "Embryo adoption" or "embryo donation" allows patients to transfer embryos that are not genetically related to them.
