Following statements are regarding to the early development in sea urchin.
A. most cells of the 16-cell embryo, the large micromeres are autonomously specified.
B. large micromeres inherit maternal determinants that were deposited at the vegetal pole of the egg; these become incorporated into the large micromeres at the fourth cleavage.
C. The conditionally specified large micromeres are now able to produce paracrine and juxtacrine factors that autonomously specify the fates of their neighbors.
D. Large micromeres become skeletogenic mesenchyme cells that will leave the blastula epithelium, enter the blastocoel, migrate to particular positions along the blastocoel wall, and then differentiate into the larval skeleton.

Transcription of eukaryotic genes can be repressed in various ways. These include the four mechanisms
|
1. Competition |
a-Repression is caused by recruiting histone modifiers that alter nucleosomes in ways that inhibit transcript |
|
2. Inhibition |
b-A repressor binds to a site on DNA beside an activator and interacts with that activator, occluding its activating region |
|
3. Direct repression |
c-By binding to a site on DNA that overlaps the binding site of an activator, a repressor can inhibit binding of the activator to a gene and thus block activation of that gene. |
|
4. Indirect repression |
d-A repressor binds to a site upstream of a gene and, by interacting with the transcriptional machinery at the promoter in some specific way, inhibits transcription initiation. |
