What is this explanation saying?
I'm having trouble understanding the part of the explanation underlined in red below. I get everything else up to that point, and then my brain gets confused. I'm reading it as proteins are made, but then they could not have been produced? What do they mean by proteins of the P1 cells not being produced to carry the necessary message(s) to the AB cells prior to isolation?
The relevant portions of the passage are at the end.
Question
The results of Experiment 2 indicate that the signaling interaction at the two-cell stage probably most involves which class of molecule?
A. DNA
B. mRNA
C. rRNA
D. Protein
