Question
Answer

Human fertility drugs increase the chance of multiple births, probably because they   b) mimic progesterone.  
🗑
FSH stimulates:   b. maturation of ovarian follicles

🗑
As cleavage continues during frog development, the number of blastomeres   A) increases as the size of the blastomeres decreases.  
🗑
Which region of the frog blastula corresponds to the future dorsal side of the embryo?   D) gray crescent  
🗑
Which developmental sequence is CORRECT?   D) cleavage, morula, blastula, and gastrula  
🗑
the time of implantation, the human embryo is called a(n)   B) zygote.  
🗑
The yolk of the frog egg   E) leads to unequal rates of cleavage for the animal pole compared to the vegetal pole.  
🗑
After gastrulation, the outer-to-inner sequence of tissue layers in a vertebrate is   c) ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm.  
🗑
What is the process called that involves the movement of cells into new relative positions in an embryo and results in the establishment of three germ tissue layers?   E) gastrulation  
🗑
Without the formulation of an ectoderm, vertebrates would not form   A) a nervous system.  
🗑
You observe an embryo with meroblastic cleavage, extraembryonic membranes, and a primitive streak. How would you identify this organism, based on the information given?   D) bird  
🗑
Hans Spemann has referred to which of the following structures as the primary organizer in the early development of amphibian embryos?   E) dorsal lip of the blastopore  
🗑
During gastrulation in frogs, a rod of mesoderm under the dorsal surface forms the   A) notochord.

🗑
Collagenous fibers are primarily found in what type of animal tissue?   A) connective  
🗑
Why must multicellular organisms keep their cells awash in an "internal pond"?   B) Cells need an aqueous medium for the exchange of nutrients, gases, and wastes.

🗑
Which muscle tissue is responsible for voluntary movement?   B) skeletal muscle only  
🗑

🗑
How does positive feedback differ from negative feedback?   B) In positive feedback, the effector's response is in the same direction as the initiating stimulus rather than opposite to it.
