多选题Whereas much is known about causes and consequences at the molecular level, and in spite of an enormous accumulation of chemical and morphological data on embryos of various kinds, {{U}}our understanding of how genes control morphogenesis is still far from complete.{{/U}} Perhaps one reason for this is that molecular biologists and morphologists speak different languages. Whereas the former speak about messenger-RNA and conformational changes of protein molecules, the latter speak of ectoderms, hypoblasts, and neural crests. {{U}}One solution to this predicament{{/U}} is to try to find some phenomena relevant to morphogenesis which both the molecular biologist and the morphologist can understand and discuss. As morphogenesis must be basically the result of changes in behavior of the individual cells, it seems logical to ask morphologists to describe the morphogenetic events observed in terms of changes in cellular contact, changes in the rate of proliferation of cells, or similar phenomena. Once this is done, it may be appropriate to ask questions about the molecular background for these changes. One may, for instance, ask whether variations in cell contact reflect alterations in the populations of molecules at the cell surface, or one may inquire about the molecular basis for the increased cell mobility involved in cell dispersion. The author's primary purpose is to: A. outline a procedure and discuss possible applications. B. evaluate an experiment in terms of its applicability to medical research. C. propose a method for curing specific genetic disorders. D. explain a problem and suggest a solution for it. E. reveal the shortcomings of several attitudes toward genetic research.
