Frequency of abnormal nuclei in E3.5 preimplantation embryos

Genotype
Normal nuclei
Abnormal nuclei
Total
Chk1+/+ 17 0 17
Chk1+/− 34 0 34
Chk1−/− 3 18 21

Embryos from Chk1+/− heterozygote intercrosses were stained with DAPI and analyzed by microscopy under ultraviolet light. The number of embryos of each genotype containing abnormal nuclei (highly condensed chromatin aggregates or irregular micronuclei; Figure 2F) was determined.
