Embryonic induction is caused by part developing from_____________?

Correct answer: C. Mesoderm

  • A. Endoderm
  • B. Ectoderm
  • C. Mesoderm
  • D. Extraembryonic layers

Explanation

Embryonic induction occurs when one group of embryonic cells influences the development of neighbouring cells; the mesoderm acts as an important inducing tissue in early development. Thus, many such developmental signals arise from mesoderm-derived parts. A student may choose ectoderm because it forms structures such as the nervous system, but the question is asking about the inducing tissue, not the tissue being induced.
