Cytoplasmic determinants in the egg. The unfertilized egg has molecules in its cytoplasm, encoded by the mother's genes, that influence development. Many of these cytoplasmic determinants are unevenly distributed in the egg. After fertilization and mitotic division, the cell nuclei of the embryo are exposed to different sets of cytoplasmic determinants and, as a result, express different genes.

Tissue-specific proteins- are proteins that are found only in a specific cell type and they will give the cell its characteristic structure and function.

Determination- signals from other cells lead to activation of a master regulatory gene.

Differentiation- the master regulatory gene encodes a transcription factor that binds to specific control elements which further differentiate the cell.

b. Induction of transcription factors (internal and external) during development results in sequential gene expression.

1. Homeotic genes are involved in developmental patterns and sequences, where, when and how body segments develop

Timing and coordination of specific events are necessary for the normal development of an organism, and these events are regulated by a variety of mechanisms (2.E.1)

Conservation of homeotic genes in a fruit fly and a mouse- Homeotic genes that control the form of anterior and posterior structures of the body occur in the same linear sequence on chromosomes in Drosophila and mice.

Examples: Hox and ParaHox genes which are important for segmentation

SRY gene- is the sex-determining gene of the Y chromosome in mammals. This gene encodes a transcription factor that makes a protein (testis-determine factor) which results in maleness.

3. Temperature and the availability of water determine seed germination in most plants.

Timing and coordination of specific events are necessary for the normal development of an organism, and these events are regulated by a variety of mechanisms (2.E.1)

Seed germination- the growth of an embryonic plant contained within a seed. Temperature, water, oxygen and sometimes light or darkens, are factors which affect seed germination.

Sunflower seedling, just three days after germination.

Dormancy- some seeds are dormant and will not germinate unless they are subjected to specific environmental conditions.

Role of Fire- Chaparral and closed-cone conifer communities, the seeds need fire to germinate.

4. Genetic mutations can result in abnormal development.

Timing and coordination of specific events are necessary for the normal development of an organism, and these events are regulated by a variety of mechanisms (2.E.1)

Human polysyndactyly in a baby’s food due to a homozygous mutation in a Hox gene- The Hox genes play various roles at several distinct points during limb pattern formation. A specific mutation in the HoxD13 gene results in human polysyndactyly.

5. Genetic transplantation experiments support the link between gene expression and normal development.

Timing and coordination of specific events are necessary for the normal development of an organism, and these events are regulated by a variety of mechanisms (2.E.1)

Abnormal pattern formation in Drosophila- Mutations in certain regulatory genes, called homeotic genes, caused a misplacement of structures in an animal. These micrographs contrast the head of the wild-type fly, bearing a pair of small antennae, with the of a homeotic mutant, bearing a pair of legs in place of antennae.

6. Genetic regulation by microRNAs plays an important role in the development of organisms and the control of cellular functions.

Timing and coordination of specific events are necessary for the normal development of an organism, and these events are regulated by a variety of mechanisms (2.E.1)

Regulation of gene expression by miRNA- RNA transcripts are processed into miRNA, which prevent expression of mRNA containing complementary sequences.

miRNA Protein Complex- (1993) is capable of binding to complementary sequences of mRNA molecule, effectively blocking translation or degrading the mRNA.

c. Programmed cell death (apoptosis) plays a role in the normal development and differentiation.

• Morphogenesis of fingers and toes

Timing and coordination of specific events are necessary for the normal development of an organism, and these events are regulated by a variety of mechanisms (2.E.1)

Effect of apoptosis during paw development in the mouse- In mice, humans, and other mammals, as well as in land birds, the embryonic region that develops into feet or hands initially has a solid, plate-like structure. Apoptosis eliminates the cells in the interdigital regions, thus forming the digits. The embryonic mouse paws shown in these fluorescence light micrographs are stained so that cells undergoing apoptosis appear bright yellow. Apoptosis of cells begins at the margin of each interdigital region, peaks as the tissue in these regions is reduced, and is not longer visible when the interdigital tissue has been eliminated.

Timing and coordination of specific events are necessary for the normal development of an organism, and these events are regulated by a variety of mechanisms (2.E.1)

Molecular basis of apoptosis in C. elegans. Three proteins are critical to apoptosis and its regulation in nematode. Apoptosis is more complicated in mammals but involves proteins similar to those in the nematode.

Apoptosis genes- hid, grim, and reaper genes are controlled by miRNA.
