Question

Which morphogenesis process is correctly matched with the example developmental process?

a) cell division & cell shape change--neural tube formation
b) convergent extension -- plant cell elongation]
c)ingression/delamination--cerbral cortex development
d) invagination/involution-- gastrulation

Answer 1

The correct match between the morphogenesis process and developmental process is invagination/involution with gastrulation, which is not to be confused with neurulation forming the neural tube.

Step-by-step explanation:

The morphogenesis process correctly matched with the example developmental process is invagination/involution--gastrulation. During gastrulation, cell layers reorganize significantly to form three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. This process is pivotal for setting up the basic body plan. In contrast, neurulation refers to the development of the nervous system from the ectoderm post gastrulation, where the neural plate rolls up to form the neural tube, setting the basis for the spine and brain.
