The Turing model provides a framework for limb development. Following statements are regarding to this model:


A. In Turing’s model, morphogen A promotes the production of more morphogen A (autoactivation) as well as production of morphogen I. Morphogen I, however, inhibits the production of morphogen A (lateral inhibition).


B. In Turing’s model, morphogen A inhibits the production of more morphogen A (autoinhibition) as well as production of morphogen I. Morphogen I, however, promotes the production of morphogen A (lateral activation).


C. In Turing’s model, the reaction-diffusion dynamics can tell us how the limb bud acquires its proximal- distal polarity as well as how the number of digits is regulated at the distal tip of the limb.


D. The reaction-diffusion system has been proposed to be sufficient for establishing patterns of precartilage and noncartilage tissues.


E. According to this model, along the proximal-distal axis the AER dividing into two domains 1-the inhibitory domain 2-the active domain.


F. According to this model, along the proximal-distal axis the AER dividing into three domains 1-the inhibitory domain 2-the active domain 3-frozen domain.

A transformation experiment is performed with a donor strain that is resistant to four drugs: W, X, Y, and Z. The recipient is sensitive to all four drugs. The treated recipient population is divided up and plated on media containing various combinations of the drugs. The table below shows the results:
