Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a mesoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed. The process involved in the specification of cell identity. Once specification has taken place, a cell will be committed to differentiate down a specific pathway if left in its normal environment. A series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of any member of the BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) family binding to a cell surface receptor and ultimately resulting in an cell becoming specified to adopt a mesodermal fate. The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a transmembrane receptor serine/threonine kinase binding to its physiological ligand. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become part of the mesoderm. A series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of any member of the BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) family binding to a cell surface receptor.
