## Abstract The synthesis of histones by preimplantation mouse embryos was examined by electrophoresis of [^3^H]βlysineβlabeled acid extracts of cleavage stage embryos. Histones were synthesized by fertilized zygotes, twoβcell, eightβcell, and morula stage embryos. Their identity was confirmed by c

## Abstract DNA polymerase activity was measured in mouse embryos at stages before implantation to determine whether it increases in proportion to the amount of DNA synthesis, as it does in populations of differentiated mammalian cells, or remains constant, as it does in early sea urchin embryos. T
Early (non-compacted) and late (compacted) 8-cell embryos were observed after few hours of culture in vitro. The former embryos underwent compaction and the latter embryos were found decompacted. Cell counting suggested that decompaction preceded fourth cleavage division of any blastomere and laste
Mouse preimplantation embryos consume pyruvate preferentially during the early developmental stages, before glucose becomes the predominant energy substrate in the blastocyst. To investigate the importance of the switch to glucose utilization at the later developmental stages, mouse embryos from F1
