Early embryos are transcriptionally quiescent and therefore need to regulate protein function through post-transcriptional regulation. State one example of post-transcriptional regulation of gene products involved in each of the following processes during oogenesis, the egg-to-embryo transition and early embryogenesis (1.5 pt)

Unfertilized eggs of several animal species contain many mRNAs that should not be translated until fertilization occurs. Describe a molecular strategy employed by the egg to ensure timely activity of the proteins encoded by such mRNA.

1. The only possible mechanism that contributed to cell fate changes in the 8-cell stage sea urchin embryo is maternal determinants. 2. Nanos and caudal mutants lack posterior structures. 3. Experimental introduction of yolk into a mammalian cleavage stage embryo may hinder cytokinesis. 4. During the first cleavage, the embryo undergoes a rapid cell cycle of G1, S, G2, and M. 5. The removal of the inner cell mass from a syncytial blastoderm results in lethality. 6. Demonstration of germ cell potential was acquired through transplantation of labeled inner cell mass cells to another embryo of the equivalent stage and different species. 7. In the intestinal stem cell niche, stem cells express ISG1 that is required for asymmetric division.

Eukaryotic cells regulate gene expression by several steps, starting by transcriptional control. For each of the mentioned steps below, provide a relevant example from Drosophila development that illustrates the use of this form of regulation. Explain your answer: - Transcriptional control - RNA transport + localization control - Translational control - Post translational modification control
