embryo
• at E3.5 homozygous embryos contain only 8 to 16 cells and these embryos fail to develop further when cultured suggesting growth arrest occurs at or before the 16 cell stage
|
cellular
• at E3.5 none of the cells in the embryo stain positive for a mitotic marker and none of the cells contain any assembled spindles
