A. During development, all of the genes in the embryo's cells are expressed at first, but fewer and fewer are expressed as time proceeds.

The researcher observes that transplanting tissue from the area of the embryo that normally becomes the head of the fly to the bottom part of an embryo does not alter the embryological development of that organism. What to conclude from that observation? This observation remains to be explained. The embryo does not produce sufficient survival factors to maintain the transplanted cells. The cell fate of the transplanted cells had not yet been determined.
