37 a question that bedeviled early embryologists was, if chromosomes are the s_ _ _ (identical) in every cell, how can they direct development of different cell phenotypes?
39 the concept that developmental information lies in the cytoplasm is _e_able (justifiable) because removing cytoplasm from certain kinds of eggs is sufficient to cause deformed development
40 for the most part, all the cells of the body have the _ _me (identical) genes and chromosomes
41 to enucleate a frog _g_, prick the egg to induce changes that mimic fertilization and then puncture it where the meiotic spindle has pushed pigment granules away; the chromosomes and meiotic spindle will then flow out of the cell

44 diety
45 regeneration of the ___ in salamanders showed that even differentiated adult cells retain the potential to produce other cell types

54 In 1938, Glueksohn-Schoenheimer reflected that a _ _ _ _ _ _ _mental geneticist couldn't change a structure and evaluate the consequences, but had to examine the results of the gene's experiment
57 metaplasia is also termed ___-differentiation, a change from one differentiated cell into another
59 long playing record, abbrev
61 when Morgan removed cytoplasm from fertilized comb jelly eggs, the embryos developed with _ _fects, showing that the cytoplasm is essential for development and leading him to propose that the nucleus does not contain differentiating power.
62 serial transfer of a nucleus from _ _g to _ _g can increase the number of nuclei that can develop tadpoles; the procedure of transfering a nucleus into an enucleated _ _g is called cloning
63 mutation in mice that alters development of the posterior portion of the embryo due to defects in early induction of the dorsal axis
67 _NI_ is a computer system
68 division rate during cleavage; if differentiated cells divide at this rate their chromosomes can break, leading to abnormalities that may explain why so few differentiated nuclei can support normal development when transplanted into an enucleated egg

70 before the Christian era, abbrev
