1. The picture shows the 8-cell stage in the development of a rat embryo. A

researcher will compare the proteins found in the cells of the embryo. Which

results are most likely from this comparison?

A The proteins are very similar to each other from one cell to the next.

B The proteins in each of the cells are distinct from those in each of the

other cells.

C The cells can be divided into two equal groups, with similar proteins only

among the cells in each group.

D The cells can be divided into two unequal groups, with similar proteins

only among the cells in each group
