In a hypothetical developmental biology experiment, the researchers place a barrier between the alpha ludens (a made-up structure) and tissues that are supposed to develop into the beta ludens. If the beta ludens _______, then signals from the alpha ludens are acting as _______ of the beta ludens.
A) develops; inducers
B) does not develop; inducers
C) develops; transcription factors
