Question
Chapter 27, Problem 14TYK
Summary Introduction
To determine: The functions of the extracellular membranes and the way in which fish and the frog embryos survive without them.
Introduction:
The extracellular membranes are the layers that surround the embryo inside the uterus. There are four layers that constitute the extra embryonic membranes they are the amnion, chorion, yolk sac and the allantois. These membrane function is to help in the development of the embryo. They are found in myriad of organisms ranging from insects to the most highly developed organisms.

What is the fate of the four extraembryonic membranes in embryos of placental mammals?

Most mammals, including humans have alecithal type of egg, which means that
there is negligible or no amount of stored yolk in its cytoplasm. How would a
developing mammalian embryo get its nourishment?

If cells are transplanted from their normal region in an embryo to a different region in a recipient embryo, such cells will alter their fate, but not their specification. Cell fate map describes the allocation of cells to the germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm, whereas specification describes the exact tissues that each cell will ultimately become. The fate map of an embryo does not change during development -- the fate map of an egg is the same as the fate map of a late blastula -- whereas the specification map of an embryo changes continually as the embryo's development proceeds. The fate map of a cell is determined by labelling that cell and following it during normal development, whereas the specification state of a cell is determined by culturing a cell in an artificial medium and observing what tissues form from it.arrow_forwardWhat are the roles of the chorion and amnion in terrestrial vertebrate embryos?arrow_forward
- From what the amnion of mammalian embryo is derived?arrow_forwardMammals have unique reproductive adaptations that have contributed to their evolutionary success. One of the distinguishing characteristics of mammals is their mammary glands, which allow for the production of milk. Even the more primitive mammals, such as the duck-billed platypus and the kangaroo, have some type of mammary glands. However, only the placental mammals (e.g. humans, horses, dogs) have a placenta, which supports the internal development of the embryo. The most primitive mammals have no placenta and can’t support the internal development of the embryo.
