Question

In an experiment performed on a starfish four-celled embryo, each blastomere is separated and kept in a culture medium. What could be the possible results of this experiment, provided all the environmental conditions are favorable?

Answer 1

Basically it will just regenerate its body and continue being a starfish no matter how much you cut from a starfish it will regenerate

Answer 2

Answer:

The probable result of this experiment is that each cell originates a complete embryo.

Explanation:

In the question above, the embryo of a starfish was divided keeping each blastomer separate and kept in culture medium.

As you may already know, a blastomer is the structure that sucks when a fertilized egg is divided, in addition, you should also know that starfish have an incredible capacity for regeneration.

For this reason, we can conclude that in the above experiment, as the cells kept in culture media are already fertilized and as the starfish can regenerate itself from each piece, each cell will give rise to a complete embryo, which will originate another starfish.
