Discuss the evidence that Hedgehog signalling is required to commit muscle precursors to a slow muscle fate in zebrafish.
In the early mouse embryo, the immediate environment of the somite comprises multiple tissues secreting different signalling molecules that pattern the somite.
Compare and contrast the effects of BMP and FGF signalling on the activity of the Smad1 protein.
In the context of ecological stability, define in your own words what the concepts of resistance and resilience mean.
In 1974, two hedgehogs were introduced into one of the islands in the Western Isles in Scotland, an area where hedgehogs do not naturally occur.
