Question

A researcher is transferring pieces of quail embryos into chicken embryos. She notices that when she transplants a certain central portion of a quail embryo into a chick embryo, this quail tissue can induce a secondary axis. This region in the quail embryo is likely a(n):________.

Answer 1

organizer

Step-by-step explanation:

Organizers are group of cells that have the ability to give instructions to fates and morphogenesis in the neighboring cells, and also speed their development into a particular organs and tissues.

Organizers is a particular region in the gastrulating embryo that brings about the induction of the body axis.

It can be observed that cells were brought into and out of the chick organizer through cell movement during gastrulation.the cellular makeup of an organizer is constantly changing, which can be linked to the process known as organizer regeneration.
