The posterior end of the neural tube will develop into the brain.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Clarify Question
• What is the key concept addressed by the question?
o The question asks about the location of the brain.
• What type of thinking is required?
o You are being asked to apply your knowledge about the neural tube forming the brain.

• What do you know about the neural tube? What other information is related to the question?
o Neurulation occurs just after gastrulation and involves the formation of the neural tube from ectoderm located dorsal to the notochord. The anterior end of the neural tube forms the brain (at the anterior of the animal), while the posterior end of the neural tube forms the spinal cord (at the posterior of the animal).
Choose Answer
• Given what you now know, what information is most likely to produce the correct answer?
o False in an animal, the anterior end is the head and the posterior end is the tail. The brain is found in the head, so it will be at the anterior end of an animal and will form in the anterior end of the neural tube.
Reflect on Process
• Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable result?
o This question asked you to apply your knowledge about the neural tube forming the brain. If you got the correct answer, great job! If you got an incorrect answer, where did the process break down? Did you think that the brain would be found in the posterior end of an animal? Did you think that the neural tube was only found at the posterior end of an animal?
