In a normal chick embryo, the two sides of the spinal cord start out with a large number of motor neurons that extend toward the limb buds. Call this starting number 100% on each side (100% left / 100% right). Normally, the number of neurons is reduced during development (to 50%/50%). Consider an experiment in which an additional limb bud is transplanted or grafted onto the left side of the embryo. How will this additional limb bud affect the number of neurons in the spinal cord later in development
