1. The picture shows the 8-cell stage in the development of a rat embryo. A
researcher will compare the proteins found in the cells of the embryo. Which
results are most likely from this comparison?
A The proteins are very similar to each other from one cell to the next.
B The proteins in each of the cells are distinct from those in each of the
other cells.
C The cells can be divided into two equal groups, with similar proteins only
among the cells in each group.
D The cells can be divided into two unequal groups, with similar proteins
only among the cells in each group
