An embryologist interested in studying the morphogenetic movements in chick embryo, during 3 cells layer stage of the embryo, added some vital stains as embryonic fate markers (embryonic fate markers usually stain the cells and in future development of embryo the stained cells differen tiate into developing organ. Thus the movement of the cell can be traced). He gave the upper layer green colour, middle layer orange and innermost layer blue. a. Name the 3 layers mentioned above. b. Based on your knowledge regarding the development of an embryo predict three organs with these respective colours.

Figure shows a small body of mass m placed over a larger mass M whose surface is horizontal near the smaller mass and gradually curves to become verticle. The smaller mass is pushed on the longer on at a speed v and the system is left to itself. Assume thast all the surfaces are frictionless. a. find teh speed of the larger block when the smaller block is sliding on the vertical part. b. find the speed of the smaller mass when it breaks off the larger mas at height h. c. find the maximum height (from the ground) that the smaller mass seconds. d show that the smaller mass will again land on the bigger one. Find the distane traversed by the bigger block during the time when the smaller block was in its flight under gravity.
