Question

This object is the namesake of a model which proposes that cells determine positional information during embryonic development via the concentration gradient of a morphogen. A Manet painting titled for the Rue Mosnier (“roo moz-N’YAY”) with these objects depicts a man on crutches limping past railroad debris. The colors of this object derive from the oriflamme and a cockade that was adopted after green was deemed too (*) royalist. The colors of this object inspired (10[1])the titles of a film trilogy by Krzysztof (“k’SHISH-toff”) Kieślowski.
