At which stage would one be able to first distinguish a diploblastic embryo from a triploblastic embryo? a) fertilizationb) cleavagec) gastrulationd) organogenesise) metamorphosis

Gastrulation.

Explanation:

Zygote is formed by the fusion of the male and female gamete. The zygote undergoes the process of cleavage to form the different embryonic stages of the offspring.

Gastrulation is the important process of the pre embryonic development. The blastula get multiply and rearranged to form the gastrula. The gsatrulation process includes the formation of three germ layers also known as triploblastic embryo. The three germ layers are ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
