question 25

Multiple Choice

• A) The cells begin to differentiate.
• B) The proteins are evenly distributed throughout the embryo.
• C) Larval features begin to make their appearance.
• D) Spatial axes (anterior → posterior, etc.) begin to be determined.
• E) The embryo begins to lose cells due to apoptosis from no further gene expression.
