Few statements regarding the role of disheveled (dsh) and beta-catenin in the
development of sea urchin.
A.
beta-catenin accumulates predominantly in the macromeres and somewhat in veg2
tier cells.
B.
At the fourth cleavage disheveled and β-catenin, both of which are found in the
cytoplasm and are inherited by the micromeres.
C.
Treating sea urchin embryos with lithium chloride allows β-catenin to
accumulate in every cell and transforms presumptive ectoderm into endoderm.
D.
When β-catenin is prevented from entering the nuclei (i.e., it remains in the
cytoplasm), the vegetal cell fates are specified, and the entire embryo
develops as a ciliated ectodermal ball.
Which one of the following options represents a combination of correct statement?

Hox9 and Hox10
paralogues specify the stylopod, Hox11
paralogues specify the zeugopod, and Hox12 and Hox13 paralogues
specify the autopod. This scenario has been confirmed by numerous experiments.
Which of the following experiment correctly describe this scenario?
