This figure illustrates which of the following processes? (Figure 5.14)

A) Migrating cells follow radial glia from the ventricular zone to the developing cortex.
B) Progenitor cells located in the ventricular zone produce daughter cells that remain in the ventricular zone or migrate.
C) Developing axons adhere to cell adhesion chemicals on the surface of other cells en route to forming synapses with target cells.
D) Guidepost cells release chemicals that either attract or repel growing axons.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The figure shows cells migrating from the ventricular zone to the developing cortex, following radial glia cells as a guide. This process is known as radial migration and is represented by choice A. The other options in the answer choices are related to different processes involved in brain development, but they are not represented by the figure.
