From the various microsurgical procedures of Spemann and others, several developmental principles have emerged about amphibian embryos. One of the most important discoveries was the understanding that the developmental fates of various groups of cells are not rigidly determined early in development. In many cases, if a multicellular fragment of an early frog gastrula is transplanted from one region of the embryo to a......阅读全文
