reproductive system
N |
• homozygotes produced in expected numbers
• males and females produced in equal numbers
• oocyte numbers recovered by superovulation is similar in all genotypes
• ovary morphology and oocyte chromatin structure are normal
|
• litter size of females crossed to wild type males is 2.67 pups compared to 7.21 pups from control females
|
embryo
• 41% of oocytes develop to blastocysts compared to 82% for controls
• gene activation in 2 cell embryos as measured by uridine analog incorporation is reduced 50% (incorporation level is 5(% of incorporation in controls)
