What Tissue in the Gastrula Gives Rise to Muscle

Question

What tissue in the gastrula gives rise to muscle?
A) ectoderm
B) mesoderm
C) endoderm
D) gastrula

Accepted Answer

The mesoderm is the tissue in the gastrula that gives rise to muscle, as well as bone, blood, and other connective tissues. The ectoderm gives rise to the nervous system and skin, while the endoderm gives rise to the gut and associated organs. The gastrula is an early stage of embryonic development, not a specific tissue.
