The mesoderm develops into

Question

A. Pituitary gland

B. Reproductive system

C. Skin

D. Pancreas

 

My ans is C.  Isn't it mesoderm is middle layer? But looking at these choices i think C. is best ans.  If anyone can explain please help me!

Answer 1

Mandip, let's think about it. Why would the outer layer form from the middle layer? The skin develops from the ectoderm, as does the pituitary gland. The pancreas develops from the rndoderm.

 

What's left? Yep, the reproductive system, so B is your answer.

Answer 2

Mandip,

 

You are right mesoderm is a middle germ layer. 

 

Mesoderm does not develop into Skin, skin develops from Ectoderm. Mesodermal derivatives are muscles, heart and  some organs of digestive system, urinary system and genitalia.

 

Hope this helps.
