Answer:
Here are the answers:
a. 4 Cell determination as an issue in the *rest is missing*
b. 4 They assumed that different ways of separating an embryo into two parts would be equivalent as far as the fate of the two parts was concerned.
c. 4 I and III only
Explanation:
The passage demonstrates the importance of two factors in the development of an embryo: cleavage planes of division of embryonic cells and cell differentiation.
Cleavage Planes:
Cleavage basically refers to the division of the zygote into a large number of cells called blastomeres. Cleavage planes are geometrical lines or orientations along which cleavage takes place. Since, all embryonic cells are the precursors of some type of body cells, the cleavage planes determine if the cells are adequate for growth and development.
Cell Differentiation:
Cell differentiation is the transition of an undifferentiated cell into a specialized one. For example, stem cells are undifferentiated cells that develop into progenitor cells that mature into a specific cell lineage. For an embryo to regenerate, the presence of adequate embryonic stem cells is crucial. Embryonic stem cells are present in abundance before the gastrulation phase of embryonic development, after which they rapidly start differentiating.

I believe b. Let me know if it's wrong
I found the whole exercise on the internet. Attached is the scheme with labels for the gametes, f2 generation, and respective frequencies.
For the gametes position, on the left pink square on the male gametes side you should put a capital G, <span>and on the right pink square on the male gametes side you should put a small g, as</span> the only two possible offsprings that are showing is "GG" under the left male gamete and "gg" under the right male gamete. On the top pink square on the female gametes side you should put a capital G, and on the bottom pink square on the female gametes side you should put a small g, as the only two possible offsprings that are showing is "GG" on the same line as the top female gamete and "gg" on the same line as the bottom female gamete.
As for the frequencies of the gametes, you should put the white label that marks 1/2 by the side of each gamete.
Related to the F2 generation, the top right and bottom left pink squares should have the label with a capital G and small g - "Gg" which reflects the combination of the male gamete on its line with the female gamete also on its line.
As for the frequencies of the progeny, each of the genotypes formed from the union of the gametes should have by the side the white label that marks 1/4.
The totals would be that GG is 1/4, Gg is 1/2 (1/4+1/4), and gg is also 1/4.
