Question

The process of organogenesis in vertebrate embryos is heavily influenced by epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs). Which of the following is NOT a characteristic feature of EMT during organogenesis?

K SURESH KUMAR · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [C]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)
	**Related Topics**: Organogenesis, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology
	**Prerequisites**: Understanding of cell types and their properties in embryonic development
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
		- EMT is a biological process that allows epithelial cells to transition into mesenchymal cells.
		- EMT is crucial during organogenesis for cell migration and tissue formation.
**Method & Steps**:
	1.	Identify characteristics associated with EMT.
		Reasoning: EMT generally involves changes in cell adhesion, motility, and matrix interactions.
		Formula/Rule: Characteristics of EMT include loss of adhesion, increased motility, and matrix degradation.
	2.	Analyze each option to determine which does not fit.
		Working: 
		- **Option A**: Loss of cell adhesion molecules - TRUE characteristic of EMT.
		- **Option B**: Increased cell motility - TRUE characteristic of EMT.
		- **Option C**: Increased cell proliferation within the epithelium - NOT characteristic of EMT, as EMT often involves a reduction in proliferation and an increase in migration.
		- **Option D**: Degradation of the extracellular matrix - TRUE characteristic of EMT.
	3.	Conclude which option does not align with EMT characteristics.
		Result: Increased cell proliferation within the epithelium is NOT a characteristic of EMT.
		Verification: The correct option does not describe a typical feature of EMT.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: [correct option Explanation]
[B] :x: [wrong answer Explanation]
[C] :x: [wrong answer Explanation]
[D] :x: [wrong answer Explanation]
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing EMT with other cell behaviors like proliferation.
		2. Overlooking the roles of cell adhesion and motility in EMT.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Remember that EMT emphasizes transition and migration, not proliferation.
		2. Focus on the loss of adhesion and increased motility as key features of EMT.
