morphogen gradients and cell specification.

A. Morphogens are always transcription factors

B. Morphogens can be paracrine factors that are produced in one group of cells and travel to another population of cells

C. When the concentration of a morphogen drops below a certain threshold, cells stop differentiating and never get determined to another fate

In the case of the French flag model. we assume a source of morphogen at one end and a sink at the other and that the concentrations of morphogen at both ends are kept constant but are different from each other. If the cells can respond to threshold concentrations of the morphogen, Thresholds can represent the
