Embryonic induction, the influence of one group of cells on another group of cells, plays a critical role in embryonic development

In 1924, Hans Spemann and Hilde Mangold transplanted a piece of tissue that influences the formation of the notochord and neural tube, from the dorsal lip of an amphibian embryo to the ventral side of another amphibian embryo. If embryonic induction occurred, which of the following observations justifies the claim of embryonic induction? A) The transplanted tissue induced multiple limbs to develop on the ventral side of the recipient embryo.
B) The transplanted tissue inhibited normal cell division on the dorsal side of the recipient embryo that lead to its death.
C) The transplanted tissue had no effect on either the ventral or dorsal side of the recipient embryo so it continued to develop normally.
D) The transplanted tissue induced the formation of a second notochord and neural tube on the ventral side of the developing embryo.

Benedict's reagent is a chemical that is used as a test for the presence of a free aldehyde functional group on glucose. The aldehyde is used when glucose and fructose bind together to form sucrose, and the Benedict's test is negative. Starch contains a great deal of glucose but gives a negative Benedict's test because:

A. all of the aldehyde groups on the starch are oxidized and cannot react with the Benedict's reagent. B. glucose in starch has lost a carbon atom and cannot react with Benedict's reagent. C. only the glucose at the end of a chain of starch will have an exposed aldehyde functional group to react with Benedict's reagent. D. starch is not soluble in water and cannot react with Benedict's reagent.
