Treatment in vitro of ovulated mouse oocytes for 5-10 min with 4.5-8.6% ethanol or 0.24-0.4% benzyl alcohol was found to induce parthenogenetic activation. Suppression of the second polar body with cytochalasin D and subsequent culture in vitro gave a high yield of parthenogenetic morulae and blasto
## Abstract Frozenβthawed mouse oocytes were artificially activated with Sr^2+^ and analyzed cytogenetically at the first cleavage division to examine the behavior of the maternal chromosomes independently of the paternal complement. There was no significant difference in the rate of activation bet
