Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Somites are the structures that give rise to important parts of the vertebrate skeletal system, including bones and skeletal muscles. Mutations in the genes that regulate somite formation can disrupt these critical developmental processes, often resulting in lethality to the embryo.
