Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What cells migrate from the wall of the yolk sac into the indifferent gonad of the developing embryo during the 4th week of development?
A
Germinal cells
B
Primordial germ cells
C
Primary oocytes
D
Leydig cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A small group of cells in the early mammalian embryo is induced to become primordial germ cells by signals produced by neighboring cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -During Drosophila embryogenesis, the primordial germ cells move from the posterior pole to the gonads (Figure 19.12). The first step in this migration is a passive one, wherein the 30–40 pole cells are displaced into the posterior midgut by the movements of gastrulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -After specification Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are carried into the embryo by the midgut primordium. PGCs polarize and migrate through the midgut epithelium at stages 9–10 (∼4.5h After Egg Laying (AEL)).
