The antero-posterior compartment of each segment in Drosophila is defined by wingless and engrailed genes. The following statements describe their regulation: A. Wingless is a secretory factor. B. Engrailed is a secretory factor and forms a long-range concentration gradient. C. Engrailed regulates Wingless through Hedgehog, which forms a short-range concentration gradient. D. β-catenin homologue is the signalling molecule upstream of Engrailed, which gets cleaved by GSK3 homologue. E. Cubitus interruptus is an intracellular signalling molecule in the Engrailed expressing cells. Which one of the following options contains all the correct statements regarding the regulation of the antero-posterior compartment of segments?
