Assessment of DNA Damage by RAPD in Paracentrotus lividus Embryos Exposed to Amniotic Fluid from Residents Living Close to Waste Landfill Sites
Figure 2
Comparison of developmental defects and mortality in P. lividus embryos following exposure to sperms. The gray bar represents the untreated negative control (C0). Unpolluted and polluted amniotic liquid-induced developmental defects are represented, respectively, by white and black bars. , per cent larval malformations; , per cent developmental arrest at blastula/gastrula stage; , per cent embryonic mortality, , normal larvae. Results are expressed as means SE from six separate experiments.
