Following statements are given about cleavage in drosophila.

A. During the ninth division cycle, approximately five nuclei reach the surface of the anterior pole of the embryo. These nuclei become enclosed by cell membranes and generate the pole cells that give rise to the gametes of the adult.

B. During tenth division of cycle, the other nuclei migrate to the cortex (periphery) of the egg and at this stage, embryo is called a syncytial blastoderm .

C. When the nuclei reach the periphery of the egg during the tenth cleavage cycle, each nucleus becomes surrounded by microtubules and microfilaments. The nuclei and their associated cytoplasmic islands are called  transmembrane.

D. Following division cycle 13, the cell membrane (which had covered the egg) folds inward between the nuclei, eventually  partitioning off each energid into a single cell. This process creates the cellular blastoderm.

White-breasted nuthatches and Downy woodpeckers both eat insects that hide in the furrows of bark in hardwood trees. The Downy woodpecker searches for insects by hunting from the bottom of the tree trunk to the top, while the White-breasted nuthatch searches from the top of the trunk down. These hunting behaviours best illustrate which of the following ecological concepts?

Monarch butterflies are protected from birds and other predators but the cardiac glycosides they incorporate into their tissues are from eating milkweed when they were in their caterpillar stage of development. The wings of a different species of butterfly, the Viceroy, look nearly identical to the Monarch so predators that have learned not to eat the bad-tasting Monarch avoid Viceroys as well. This example best describes
