Following statements are regarding to the role of the Disheveled and β-catenin proteins in specifying the cells of the sea urchin embryo.
A. During normal development, β-catenin accumulates predominantly in the micromeres and somewhat less in the veg2 tier cells.
B. In embryos treated with lithium chloride, β-catenin accumulates in the nuclei of all blastula cells and the cells of the animal pole become specified as ectoderm.
C. When β-catenin is prevented from entering the nuclei (i.e., it remains in the cytoplasm), the vegetal cell fates are not specified, and the entire embryo develops as a ciliated ectodermal ball.
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 specified as endoderm and mesoderm .
