Question

You observe a stickleback embryo and follow the fate of one cell (cell A) at the 64 cell stage.  The descendants cells of cell A eventually form the spines on the back of the fish as an adult. 

In a second embryo you remove the cell (cell B) that is right next to the cell that will form the spines.  In this fish the spines do not form, although the cell that would form normally them (cell A) survives.  What has happened?

Group of answer choices
A. Cell B's fate is not determined
B. Cell B fails to induce cell A to form the spines
C. Cell B fails to differentiate to form the spines
D. Cell A fails to induce cell B to form the spines
