A blastomere is removed from a caecilian embryo (caecilians are a type of amphibian). This blastomere typically gives rise to the caecilian's back tissue. When transplanted into a different area of the blastula (the side the forms the belly), the blastomere still gives rise to back tissue, despite that signals are present prompting a "belly fate."
