Diffusion causes the signal (Dorsal proteins; green) to concentrate on the ventral (lower) side of the embryo over time. Left side: Cross section of young embryo, 1-1.5 hrs old, with uniform amounts of Dorsal protein spread throughout the embryo. Right side: Cross section of older embryo, 2.5 hrs old, with Dorsal protein concentrated on the ventral (lower) side.
