The following chart show the results of cloning nuclei fromseveral cell lines (e.g. v6.5, v18.6, etc.) derived from twodifferent genetic strains of mice (F1 and 129). Note: your answersrequire no prior knowledge of these strains or the specific celllines listed)

  1. What is the main conclusion that can be drawnbased on the results of these data with respect to success of thecloning experiments?
  2. Give three possible cellintrinsic differences between v6.5 cells andLJG-13 cells that could play a role in their different results inthis assay.

For one of the three potential factors you mention above,describe a brief experimental plan to test whetherthis factor is responsible for the differences between v6.5 cellsand LJG-13 cells in this assay. Include in this plan roughly howyou would perform the experiment, what your readout would be andwhat you could conclude based on your results.

aFull term development of nuclear transfer embryos following nuclear exchange at the 2cell stageNuclei from 2cell rat embryos were transferred into enucleated 2cell embryos and developed to term after transfer to recipientsNT2Pronuclear exchange in zygotes was used for comparision NT1Zygotes and 2cell embryos were harvested from 4weekold female SpragueDawley rats In the genetic strain of mice F1 the cell lines are V65V65 sc84 and rtA2 SD18 and activated Oocytes are 14946 and 32 respectivelySo by these cloning experiments according to the activated Oocytes the Embryos Transferred are increasing automaticallyAs the embryo transfer increases the percentage of alive and survive long time percentage are also increasingThe    See Answer
