60. The “new head” hypothesis:

1

שאלה #182917

		Is a theory of how development of primitive chordates into vertebrates involved development of sensory organs from neural crest and placodes
		Is a new theory of how the head developed in primitive chordates by secondary neurulation
		Is a theory of how primary neurulation led to development of the jaws
		Is a theory of how advanced vertebrates developed sophisticated brains which come from neural placodes

63. In two different pregnancies with monozygotic twins, doctors detected only one amnion in one pregnancy and two in the other. Which is true?

1

שאלה #182920

		Twins sharing a single amnion separated earlier than twins with two amnions
		The number of chorions, NOT amnions is relevant for separation time
		Twins with a single amnion separated later than twins with two amnions
		It’s hard to distinguish between monozygotic twins with one amnion and dizygotic twins

		Implanting tissues between embryos from closely related species to determine the origin of specific tissues
		Potentially growing organs in animals for human transplantation
		All of the above

65. In the field of stem cell derived embryo models (SEMs), what is the difference between blastoids and ETX embryos?

1

שאלה #182923

		Blastoids are derived from embryonic and extraembryonic stem cells and model post- implantation stages, while ETX embryos model only the blastocyst stage.
		ETX embryos are assembled from embryonic stem cells (ESCs), trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), and extraembryonic endoderm (XEN) cells to model early post-implantation development, while blastoids mimic the structure and lineage composition of the blastocyst.
		Both blastoids and ETX embryos originate from somatic cell nuclear transfer and are used to model human implantation stages
		Blastoids are created from germ cells and model gastrulation, while ETX embryos are generated from stem cells and model late implantation
