The figure belоw illustrаtes A) nоrmаl develоpment of а sea urchin embryo, B) development of the isolated animal hemisphere and C) development of the animal hemisphere + micromeres. Note that sea urchins are triploblasts and form all three germ layers (blue = ectoderm, yellow = endoderm, red = mesoderm). While the animal half of an early sea urchin embryo does not gastrulate, and does not form a normal larva when isolated, the micromeres can rescue gastrulation and development of the animal half; the resulting larva does have mesoderm, but is lacking endoderm. See the picture below. You find that the Delta protein is expressed in the micromeres of an intact sea urchin embryo. You know that Delta is a signaling molecule that activates the Notch receptor on adjacent cells and you hypothesize that Delta from the micromeres is interacting with Notch on the veg2 cells to specify the secondary mesodermal (from veg2) fate. B) Describe a ‘loose it’ experiment that would show that the interaction of Delta and Notch on adjacent cells is necessary for the rescuing ability of the micromeres. Note that you cannot make genetic mutants in sea urchins, so don’t propose that! Include a result that would be consistent with your hypothesis and one that is inconsistent with your hypothesis.
