Suppose you had conducted a series of experiments in which you had transplanted nuclei from several different adult tissues into an activated, enucleated mouse egg and found that the egg did not develop past the blastocyst stage. Could you conclude that the transplanted nucleus had lost genes that were required for postblastula development? Why or why not? What does this type of experiment tell you more generally about interpreting negative results?
