Problem 53Multiple Choice

Scientists were able to artificially induce spina bifida in mice by inactivating the Vangl2 gene. Identify which statement correctly states the relationship between genetic defects and spina bifida.

This gene (Vangl2) is part of a cellular signaling pathway that tells cells which way they are facing within a tissue.

Spina bifida is commonly associated with chromosomal anomalies like trisomies, triploidy, and single-gene mutations.

Both A and B

None of the above
