The primitive streak is derived from epiblast cells and the central cells of Koller’s sickle. As the primitive streak extends rostrally, Henson’s node is formed. Following are few statements regarding this:

A. As endodermal ingression continues, the primitive streak starts to regress, moving Henson’s node from near the center of the area pellucida to a more posterior position.

B. As endodermal ingression continues, the primitive streak starts to regress, moving Henson’s node from near the periphery of the area pellucida to a more posterior position.

C. As mesodermal ingression continues, the primitive streak starts to regress, moving Henson’s node from near the center of the area pellucida to a more posterior position.

D. As mesodermal ingression continues, the primitive streak starts to regress, moving Henson’s node from near the periphery of the area pellucida to a more anterior position.

In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the bitter, yellow spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring?
