In drosophila, Physical forces drive invagination of the ventral furrow. Following statements regarding to this process:

A. The cellularized blastoderm will begin to activate higher levels of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline and preferentially at their apical surface.

B. Epithelial adhesions paired with differential activation of dynein and tissue geometry create mechanical constraints that affect the orientation of actomyosin meshworks.

C. The A/P oriented arrays of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline generate tension along the anterior-posterior axis.

D. The combination of tissue geometry and tension of these anterior-to-posterior meshworks cause the tissue to fold outward at a right angle to the anterior-posterior axis, creating a long and narrow ventral furrow.

Which of the following statements are incorrect?

The ability of a population of fibroblasts to migrate along the surface of a tissue culture dish depends on adhesion between the cell surface and the extracellular matrix molecules coating the dish. The dish is coated with laminin, and the only cell-surface protein capable of binding laminin is a cell-adhesion protein called an integrin. Integrins are integral plasma-membrane proteins that function as heterodimers. Under these conditions the rate at which a fibroblast can migrate along the laminin coated culture dish is proportional to the strength of adhesion between the cell and the laminin substrate. The table below lists the rate of cell migration observed for fibroblasts genetically engineered to generate the indicated phenotypes. Microinjection into the cytoplasm of a wild. type cell of a solution of a synthetic peptide possessing the same sequence as the integrin beta subunit cytoplasmic domain would be expected to yield an average fibroblast-cell migration rat
