Various Concentrations of Shh Along the Dorsoventral Axis Serve to Activate

Multiple Choice

Various concentrations of Shh along the dorsoventral axis serve to activate or repress several transcription factors which then act in combination to specify neural progenitor domains and, ultimately, neurons (Figure Q7-5) . The spinal cord progenitor domain in which Pax6 and Nkx6.1, but not Irx3 or Nkx2.2, are expressed will give rise to: Figure Q7-5
