Abstract excerpt
Both maternal and zygotic expression of many essential genes are required for normal development. For some of these genes, absence of maternal function yields striking embryonic defects. The experiments reported here examine two questions about such genes: (1) Are embryonic effects of maternal deficits a common property of maternally-and-zygotically active genes? and (2) Is use of the maternal products of these...
