a) Which of these neighbouring embryological structures secretesSonic hedgehog (Shh)?

b) Outline the Shh signal transduction pathway.

c) Describe the experiments in mice that showed that Shh isessential for the activation of myf5transcription in the earlysomite.

d) In a somite cell, how does the myf5 genomic locus integratethe cell signalling in its local environment to regulatetranscription?
