In Drosophila, germ cells develop from pole nuclei isolated from the rest of the embryo at the posterior end. How are they "protected" from the effects of posterior concentrations of zygote-produced mRNAs and proteins?

A) Their genes have unresponsive promoters. B) The cytoplasm at the pole is separated by a compartmentalizing membrane. C) The pair-rule, gap, and segmentation genes are not expressed in these cells.
