*False - The cells that pass through the streak

*True - Somites have three components: sclerotome,myotome and dermatome

*Dentinogenesis imperfecta – is a genetic discorder affecting the development of the dentin

*Germinal phase - begins at fertilization and spans the first 4 weeks of development

*Neurulation - it marks the beginning of the formation of the central nervous system

*Cardiac plate - the structure found anterior to the prochordal plate

*Connective tissue – the most abundant and widely distributed of the primary tissues

*Monosomy - if one member of the homologous chromosome pair is missing

*Mitochondria - generates fuel for the cell's activities and major source of ATP

*Neural crest cells - these cells in the head region have an important role in assisting in the formation

*Bilaminar germ disk - at day 8: cells of the embryoblast differentiate

*True - the first step of gastrulation is the formation of the primitive steak

*Embryonic phase - phase of prenatal development which is characterized largely

*Patterning – a key in development from the initial axial (head-to-tail)

*Induction – the process that initiates cell differentiation


*Cytoplasm - all the metabolic functions and activities of an animal cell takes place here

*Gastrulation – is the process whereby the bilaminar germ disc undergoes reorganization

*Morula – after fertilization, the zygote initially undergoes a series of rapid divisions

*Neural tube - formed by the fusion of the neural folds and separates from the ectoderm

*True - mesoblast pack the space between the newly formed embryonic
