This figure illustrates which of the following processes?
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 on route to forming synapses with target cells.
D) Guidepost cells release chemicals that either attract or repel growing axons.
