________ was a slave artisan who likened his planned slave revolt to the actions of George Washington.

As in the Stono Rebellion of 1739, slave revolts and conspiracies often resulted in:

Condense this expression as much as possible:

Once the sea urchin sperm has chemotaxed to an egg of the same species to fertilize it, there are additional steps that involve species specificity. Identify two such such steps, and for each, 1) briefly describe the biological role for the step (i.e. what happens when it occurs) and 2) identify the molecules and describe their locations. (Do not use chemotaxis).

If Wnt was bound to its receptor complex on a cell that signals through the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, -catenin would be

We have been using, and will continue to use, the “Find it – Lose it – Move it” mantra to investigate the role of a gene in a particular developmental process. Explain 1) what each approach tells us, and 2) why that information is important.

Arrange the following events

Loss-of-function mutations in PLCzeta (Phospholipase C zeta) are associated with human infertility. Explain why this is the case, making sure to include three things:  1) the function of PLCzeta, 2) the main biological consequence of PLC zeta loss-of-function human fertilization, and 3) whether the mutation is likely to be found in the male or female partner in a case of infertility.

The cortical granule reaction prevents sperm from falling off the egg.

If the membrane potential of a sea urchin sperm is maintained at positive 50 mV (+50 mV) when sperm of the same species are added, polyspermy is likely to occur.
