You fuse a mouse cell and a human cell and then treat the cell with anti-mouse or anti-human protein-directed antibodies that are covalently linked to fluorescent dyes (antibodies to mouse proteins show green fluorescence; antibodies to human proteins show red fluorescence). What does the cell look like after one hour?
A)The cell is half red and half green.
B)The red and green labels are uniformly distributed across the entire membrane.
