What aspects of development do maternal-effect genes control?

Video transcript

Hello, everyone. Here we have a question that says maternal effect genes encode proteins that are involved in what? So what are maternal effect? Jeans, maternal effect genes are class of genes that are transcribed and translated during oo genesis and the resulting gene products are deposited in the egg cytoplasm. So what do they do? These gene products are essential for early embryonic development and they regulate processes such as cell division, differentiation and access formation. So our answer here is a regulation of embryonic development. Thank you for watching. Bye.
