Question

Biologists used transplantation studies to observe cell determination. Some cells were moved to a new location after determination within a developing embryo. Which of the following is true about the transplanted cells?

The  transplanted cells will differentiate to a different cell type, taking on a new fate

Some transplanted cells will continue on its normal path, while others take on a new fate

The transplanted cells will continue on its normal developmental path (unaffected by the transplant)

The transplanted cell will start developing on its normal path but will eventually change fate

a.

The  transplanted cells will differentiate to a different cell type, taking on a new fate

b.

Some transplanted cells will continue on its normal path, while others take on a new fate

c.

The transplanted cells will continue on its normal developmental path (unaffected by the transplant)

d.

The transplanted cell will start developing on its normal path but will eventually change fate

Explanation / Answer

Option C is true. As determination occur in embryo it can't be changed at any cost. Even all the cells have same genotype but according to polarity fate decide .
