Abstract
To examine the degree of the relative contribution of genetic and environmental effects to preimplantation development of mouse embryo in vitro, two-cell stage embryos collected from oviducts of five strains of inbred mice (DDD/Qdj, C3H/Qdj, C57BL/6J Sea, DBA/1J Sea, and BALB/C Sea) were cultivated up to the stage of expanded blasytocyst for 72 hr. Both fertility and survival rates were calculated in each recipient and also in each strain. A Student-Newman-Keuls test for both rates showed a significant inter-strain difference and an analysis of variance done to estimate the relative importance of genetic and environmental effects on the preimplantation development of embryo showed a low degree of genetic determination for both rates. It was thus possible to conclude that the environmental effect played a more important role on preimplantation development of mouse embryo in vitro.
