An experiment was done to see if mice could survive embryonic development without the C-myc gene. This was done by using a mutation to make the C-myc allele null at the protein level. They gave some of the embryos one correct copy of the allele and others no correct copy. The homozygous mice (two null C-myc alleles), died between 9.5 and 10.5 days of gestation. The mice also were smaller and had many health problems. This showed that C-myc is vital to the development of embryos of organisms. | An experiment was done to see if mice could survive embryonic development without the C-myc gene.
