In the experiment by Spemann and Mangold (which was
conducted using an amphibian in 1924), not only did a second
notochord form from the transplanted cells, but cells
surrounding the transplanted cells also became part of the
second notochord. What does this finding suggest about the
process of animal (or amphibian) development?

changed.
B. Having two notochords may be adaptive
C. Embryo transplantation experiments are difficult and
usually end in failure
, D. Certain embryonic cells have the ability to induce the
differentiation of neighboring cells
E. The nervous system controls organogenesis during early
embryo development and disruption of this system will lead
to abnormalities during development - answer ✅✅D. Certain
embryonic cells have the ability to induce the differentiation
of neighboring cells
