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.
