The early Drosophila embryo is a syncytium. Why is this significant? O a. it allows the segment polarity proteins, Wingless and Hedgehog, to function as morphogens to establish the segmental boundaries O b. it allows the establishment of transcription factor gradients, which provide positional information O c. it eliminates the need for localized cytoplasmic determinants Od. all of the above
