Topics in Development• 1. totipotency: development depends on selective expression of

the whole genome present in every cell.  

• 2. blastula to gastrula: comparative analysis yields insights into the general nature of development

• 3. the three fundamental processes:

– cell division (differential rates of division are critical, programmed cell death is significant)

– cell differentiation (changes in integration and shape are critical; targeting cells with signals is a critical part of the process)

– morphogenesis of tissues and organs (includes defining the individual’s polarities, dividing the organism into segments, and – in animals -- migration of cells in tissue origin)

The homeodomain - 60 amino acids of the homeotic gene product that remain very similar in all proteins made by homeotic genes.

Homeotic genes:the DNA sequence of the gene (blue) contains a 180 bp sequence—the homeobox—(red) that

is highly conserved.

Causes of the radiation:

1. Atmospheric oxygen reaches sufficient levels.

3. Homeobox genes evolve.
