Experimental evidence has shown that when cells from the presumptive neural ectoderm of a newt embryo in the late gastrula stage are transplanted onto the surface of a second late gastrula where epidermis would normally develop,the transplanted cells still develop into tissues of the nervous system.These results show that the transplanted cells are
A) differentiated.
B) totipotent.
C) discontinuous.
D) determined.
E) endodermal.
