Eggs: The role of gravity in the establishment of the dorso-ventral axis in the amphibian embryo (7-IML-1)The purpose of this experiment is to fertilize frog (Xenopus laevis) eggs under microgravity, to perform histological fixations at two different programmed times, and after return to Earth, to determine whether timing and pattern of egg cleavages and axis formation are normal. Because of the limited viability of the gametes, this experiment will be the very first to be activated in the Biorack. Various aspects of this investigation are discussed.
