  1. Genetics and Development

  2. Embryology & Genetics • How did the work of Boveri and Stevens support the chromosomal hypothesis of inheritance?

  3. Embryology & Genetics • In what way were Gluecksohn-Shoenheimer and Waddington early pioneers in developmental genetics?

  4. Genomic Equivalence • What is meant by a totipotent nucleus?

  5. Genomic Equivalence • How were Briggs and King able to show that a blastula nucleus was totipotent? • What if more advanced nuclei were used?

  6. Genomic Equivalence

  7. Genomic Equivalence • How does the potency of somatic cells from Rana pipens compare with those from Xenopus laevis? • How did Gurdon’s transplant technique differ from Briggs and King?

  8. Genomic Equivalence • How was the first mammal cloned?

  9. Genomic Equivalence

  10. Differential Gene Expression • How do we know that only a small part of the genome is expresse in each cell?

  11. Molecular Biology Techniques • How can northern blotting be used to obtain information about development?
