What is the developmental fate of the six vulval precursor cells (VPCs) in the absence of an inductive signal from the anchor cell in C. elegans?
What is the developmental fate of the six vulval precursor cells (VPCs) in the absence of an inductive signal from the anchor cell in C. elegans?
PLEASE SELECT THE CORRECT ANSWER. THANKS!
| a. They all undergo apoptosis. | 
| b.They all differentiate with the 2° fate and become peripheral vulval cells. | 
| c.They all differentiate with the 1° fate and give rise to multiple vulva. | 
| d.They all differentiate into hypodermis cells. | 
Solution
Answer:d.They all differentiate into hypodermis cells.
Inductive signal differentiate and promote 1° fate and 2° fate .Absence of induce signal produce generate a 3° fate.
