mortality/aging
• massive cell death during early development
|
cellular
• increased apoptotic cell death at 90 to 100 hours post coitum, relative to wild-type and heterozygous embryos
|
embryo
• the spherical shape embryos was lost and they appeared shrunken
|
• aberrant development 80 hours post coitum
|
• although morula compaction proceeded in most embryos, a blastocoel cavity failed to form and the spherical shape was lost
|
growth/size/body
• the spherical shape embryos was lost and they appeared shrunken
