A student encounters an animal embryo at the eight-cell stage. The four smaller cells that comprise 1 hemisphere of the embryo s
eem 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.
Each cell has the potential to develop further, but only into a partially developed, nonviable embryo.
<h3>What is an Embryo?</h3>
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.
When referring to an unborn human, the phrase is used up to the end of the seventh week after conception; starting with the eighth week, the term "fetus" is used in starting points in human growth.
In most animals, the blastula adheres to the uterine lining, causing the placenta to develop and begin supplying the developing fetus with nourishment from the mother.
A single layer of phospholipids forms what is called a micelle. The polar and hydrophilic phospho head groups would form the outermembrane which interacts with the aqueous environment. The nonpolar and hydrophobic lipid tails would be in the cytosol where they pack tightly and form stable interactions with the hydrophobic chains of the stored oil molecules.
