Larval fates of M. membranacea 8-cell stage blastomeres. a Illustration based on the cell lineage data representing the overall fates of the animal (1a–1d) and vegetal (1A–1D) blastomeres. Animal blastomeres give rise to the apical organ, aboral epithelium and corona. Vegetal blastomeres give rise to the vestibule epithelium, oral ectoderm, mesoderm, and gut. b Larval structures derived from each of the eight blastomeres. Quadrant color coding: A (green), B (blue), C (purple), D (red)
