    But how are the transcription factors in the zygote formed or where are they from? And are they different from one another?
    In induction, is there a transfer of transcription factors from one cell to a stem cell?

    • @TonyTigerTonyTiger
      @TonyTigerTonyTiger 7 років тому +6

      A transcription factor is a protein, and is formed like other proteins .. via transcription of DNA into mRNA, and then translation of the mRNA into a polypeptide/protein.
      Just as there are many different enzymes, there are also are many different transcription factors, which allows them to turn on and turn off different genes. They can also act in pairs or triplets, etc. For example, in order for a certain gene to be expressed, it might needs 2 different transcriptions to bind to its enhancers.
      There are morphogens which can be released from one cell and effect other cells. The morphogens only trigger a signal cascade in the other cell, which can result in transcription factors in the recipient cell being produced. I personally cannot remember cases of trancription factors being released from one cell and taken in by another, but it has been 10 years since I earned my BS in biology, so don't trust me on that one thing.

      @@abdullahraja1711 The zygote doesn't have all transcription factors that the embryo/fetus ever will have. It is a sequence of events: transcription factor "X" may not be made until 4 weeks after conception, and in only one specific small group of cells.
      As an analogy, you can think of an atomic bomb. All that is needed to get everything started is for one single nucleus to fission. When it does, it releases neutrons that are absorbed by other nuclei, causing them to fission. Each of those fissioning nuclei release their own neutrons, which are absorbed by other nuclei, causing them to fission too.
      At least theoretically, an egg could have only a single transcription factor that is distributed in the cytoplasm asymmetrically, and that would be enough to trigger everything from there. When the the egg divides, one daughter cell would have a high concentration of the transcription factor and the other daughter cell would have a low concentration. That could cause one daughter cell to express a transcription factor that the other daughter cell does not, and now you have 2 distinct sets of genes being expressed in the two cells. That's all that is needed to get 2 cells that have different genes expressed.

      The diagram is an oversimplification - in reality, there's hundreds of different transcription factors or mRNAs at the single-celled stage and the gradient from all of those combines to specify cell fate.

      Most species, including mammals, use a combination of autonomous and conditional specification. Mammals lean more towards conditional specification, but autonomous specification still plays a role in early embryogenesis.

  • @MrGodofcar

    Nice video. However, not only this still does not explain how stem cells GET stimulated to "READ" (use) the "BOOKS" (specific genes) of the "LIBRARY" (genome) for understanding how to make proteins, but it also does not explain how reading such genes could supposedly make the cells do anything!! Other thing this video does not explain is how proteins work to be the driving mechanism behind all of the cell's functions!! I think no mainstream science can explain these unexplained facts without resorting to hypothesis.

    • @TonyTigerTonyTiger

    • @MrGodofcar
      @MrGodofcar 7 років тому +1

      Since you are saying that science is not the problem, I think you are implying that you scientifically know the answer for how stem cells get stimulated to read the genes, how reading such genes would make the cell do anything, and how proteins work to be the driving mechanism behind all of the cell's functions. If so, then do it.
