When the Bicoid protein is expressed in Drosophila, divisions between cells in the embryo are not yet fully developed. This helps to explain that (B) Bicoid protein diffuses throughout the embryo in a concentration gradient.

Bicoid protein acts as a morphogen. This means it shows its effect when the concentration gradient is high. Also abbreviated as Bcd, the protein helps in establishing the anterior and posterior region of the Drosophila. It also represses the translation of caudal mRNA.

Embryo is the initial stage of a microorganism, right after the fertilization. In vertebrates, this stage does not last much longer because the development of organs begins.

How does active transport help the Atlantic cod maintain homeostasis with regard to the balance of sodium and chlorine ions
kotegsom [21]

Atlantic Cod is a marine fish. The fish has less salt in its internal body while the salt concentration in the sea water in which the Cod lives is high. Thus through the process of osmosis ( a process in which an element moves across a permeable membrane from regions of high concentration to the regions of low concentration) the salt moves from the ocean into the fish body. In such scenario the metabolism of the fish body gets disturbed, and there is an urgent need to remove the excess salt with the help of Kidney (through extremely concentrated urine) by going against the concentration gradient in order to maintain the homeostasis.
