301. 两种龙虾
P1 - The two claws of the lobsters are different. The crusher claw appears with equal probability on either the right /left side.
P2 - Bilateral asymmetry of the claws comes about gradually.
In the juvenile 4/5 stages, the claws are symmetrical and cutterlike.
In the 6th stage, the claws diverge towards cutter and crusher claws.
VE: removing 1 claw, in the 4/5 stage, the intact one becomes a crusher and the regenerated one becomes a cutter.
no changes in later stages.
P3 - These indicate the conditions that trigger differentiation operate in a random manner when the paired claws are intact, and in a non-random manner when one of claws is lost.
One explanation: the differential use of the claws determines the asymmetry. The one used more becomes crusher.
P4 - To test the hypothesis, researchers raised lobsters in the 4/5 stages in a lab where the lobsters could manipulate oyster chips.=> the lobsters developed asymmetric claws.
When the lobsters of the same stage were reared in a smooth tank w/o the oyster chips, the majority developed two cutter claws. And this unusual configuration of symmetrical claws did not change.
