Patients with severe, uncontrolled diabetes can eventually suffer kidney failure. jack works in a laboratory that is attempting to grow healthy kidney cells from embryonic cells. from which part of an embryo would jack derive cells that could eventually become kidney cells? a. trophoblast b. mesoderm c. endoderm d. ectoderm

B. mesoderm

Explanation:

The urinary system and the genital system are formed from the unique initial development that constitutes the urogenital system. The kidneys are part of the urinary system and all the structures that make up the urinary system have mesodermal origin and are formed from three renal structures, called blastemas. Because of this, we can say that Jack would isolate cells from the mesoderm to become kidney cells that could help people with kidney complications.

The development of the urinary system starts from the middle mesoderm of the cervical region, which extends along the dorsal wall of the embryo's body. In the period of folding of the embryo in the horizontal plane, this mesoderm is displaced ventrally losing its connection with the somites and begins a long process of accumulation of cells, arranged in segments called nephrostomes.
