There are maternally-determined variations along the animal-vegetal axis that are necessary for normal development in sea urchin. Which of the following statements about regulation in sea urchin embryos is consistent with that fact?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Up until the hatching of the embryo as a pluteus larva, any blastomere can be separated from the others and will regulate to go on and develop into a fully formed and full size larva.
  2. Up until the hatching of the embryo as a pluteus larva, any blastomere can be separated from the others and will regulate to go on and develop into a fully formed, yet smaller, larva.
  3. Blastomeres from the animal or vegetal poles of the embryo can be isolated and will go on to form an embryo, as long as either an animal or vegetal pole is included.
  4. Blastomeres at the 4-cell stage each still possesses a portion of the original animal-vegetal axis, and if isolated will go on to form a fully formed, yet smaller, larva.

In glycolysis, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is converted to two products with a standard free-energy change (DG'°) of 23.8 kJ/mol.  Under what conditions (encountered in a normal cell) will the free-energy change (DG) be negative, enabling the reaction to proceed to the right?
