In Drosophila,the initial cells created by cleavage contain different developmental signals from the egg called cytoplasmic _______.
A)stem cells
B)signals
C)determinants
D)junctions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytoplasmic determinants are molecules found within the egg that have an influence on early development. These molecules are unevenly distributed within the egg and become segregated during early cleavage divisions, leading to the specification of different cell types. Stem cells (A) and junctions (D) are not specific to the early developmental signals in Drosophila, while "signals" (B) is too general of a term to accurately describe these cytoplasmic determinants.
