Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proper sequence for neurulation is that the ectoderm thickens and forms the neural plate, which then folds inward to form the neural groove, and finally fuses to form the neural tube. Therefore, option C is the correct sequence. Option A has the order of neural groove and neural plate reversed, and option B has the neural tube forming before the neural groove. Option D includes the brain, which is not formed during neurulation.
