Determination and morphogenesis in the sea urchin embryo.
The study of the sea urchin embryo has contributed importantly to our ideas about embryogenesis. This essay re-examines some issues where the concerns of classical experimental embryology and cell and molecular biology converge. The sea urchin egg has an inherent animal-vegetal polarity. An egg fragment that contains both animal and vegetal material will produce a fairly normal larva. However, ...
متن کاملThe oral-aboral axis of a sea urchin embryo is specified by first cleavage.
Several lines of evidence suggest that the oral-aboral axis in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus embryos is specified at or before the 8-cell stage. Were the oral-aboral axis specified independently of the first cleavage plane, then a random association of this plane with the blastomeres of the four embryo quadrants in the oral-aboral plane (viz. oral, aboral, right and left) would be expected. Lin...
متن کاملThe cleavage stage embryo.
A precise embryo quality evaluation is of paramount importance to sustain a successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) program. In most IVF clinics around the world, this quality assessment relies mainly on the morphological evaluation of cleavage stage embryos. Embryologists should be able to correlate the features observed at the optical microscope with the implantation potential of each particu...
متن کاملI-38: Chromosome Instability in The Cleavage Stage Embryo
Recently, we demonstrated chromosome instability (CIN) in human cleavage stage embryogenesis following in vitro fertilization (IVF). CIN not necessarily undermines normal human development (i.e. when remaining normal diploid blastomeres develop the embryo proper), however it can spark a spectrum of conditions, including loss of conception, genetic disease and genetic variation development. To s...
متن کاملCleavage of Sea-urchin Eggs in Colchicine
INTRODUCTION We have recently put forward a theory linking mitosis with cleavage, in which we suggest that cleavage is caused by an expansion of the cell cortex which starts at either pole of the cell and later moves round to the region of the furrow (Mitchison, 1952). There is evidence that this expansion is brought about by substances diffusing from the two groups of daughter chromosomes whic...
