EffectofUVTreatmentonEarlyDevelopmentofSeaUrchinEmbryos
Objective:To test the effects of UV radiation at 254nm on Sea Urchin embryo development after radiation at the 2-cell stage.Background:Sea Urchins exhibit radial holoblastic cleavage. The first and second cleavages are perpendicular to one anotherand go through the animal and vegetal poles. The subsequent cleavages separate the cells into mesomeres,macromeres, and micromeres. Sea Urchins undergo formation of the blas......阅读全文
