Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 12QP
A teratogen is an agent that produces nongenetic abnormalities during embryonic or fetal development. Suppose a teratogen is present at conception. As a result, during the first mitotic division the centromeres fail to divide. The teratogen then loses its potency and has no further effect on the embryo. What is the chromosomal complement of this embryo?
