Which of the following is not true of the role of BMPs in mesoderm patterning?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BMPs play a crucial role in the dorsal-ventral patterning of the embryo. Overexpression of BMPs leads to ventralization (A is true), while the introduction of a dominant-negative BMP receptor would block BMP signaling, leading to dorsalization, not ventralization, making B incorrect. BMP function is indeed inhibited by organizer signals (C is true), and BMPs are signaling ligands that bind to cell-surface receptors on target cells (D is true).
