Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mosaic development in animals is a type of development where each of the early blastomeres lacks the potential of developing into a complete organism, and removing a blastomere eliminates a future body part. This is in contrast to regulative development, where the fate of a blastomere is heavily determined by its neighbor cells. Therefore, choice A is incorrect. Finally, choice B is a term used to describe another type of development, where the fate of a cell is not determined solely by its genetic makeup but also by its interactions with neighboring cells.
