Researchers obtain a pure solution of antibodies that bind specifically to the cadherins (linking proteins) of the desmosomes of epithelial cells of a mouse. As a follow up of their previous experiment, they take a tube of individual muscle cells from a chicken and add antibodies to the tube. What is the predicted outcome of this second experiment? A. The antibodies will bind to the chicken muscle cells, so the cells will adhere to each other B. The antibodies will bind to the chicken muscle cells, so the muscle cells will not adhere to each other C. The antibodies will not bind to the chicken muscle cells, so the cells will adhere to each other D. The antibodies will not bind to the chicken muscle cells, so the cells will not adhere to each other
