Question

Describe the process of blastulation in Xenopus embryo.

Answer 1

The blastula precedes the formation of the gastrula in which the germ layers of the embryo form. In many animals such as Drosophila and Xenopus, the mid blastula transition (MBT) is a crucial step in development during which the maternal mRNA is degraded and control over development is passed to the embryo.
