Solution

The statement that is not true about morphogens is: "They become more concentrated the further away you go from their source."

Explanation: Morphogens are signaling molecules that diffuse from a localized source and form a concentration gradient across a developing tissue. The concentration of morphogens is highest near the source and decreases with distance. Therefore, they do not become more concentrated the further away you go from their source. Instead, their concentration decreases the further away you go from their source.

Which of the following are true about signaling pathways and responses?Group of answer choicesThe duration of a signaling response can be influenced by positive and negative feedback loopsSome types of signaling responses occur much more quickly than othersSometimes different types of signal molecules need to be present at the same time to stimulate a particular effect in the target cellEach signal molecule influences only one type of cell response, meaning that a signal molecule that drives proliferation will not also influence metabolismThe concentration of a signal molecule does not influence the magnitude or type of responseSome signals must be present in high amounts before a target cell will respond, while others are sensitive at low concentrations
