Materials and Methods:

Medaka embryos were supplied by the Biology Department of Franklin & Marshall College. They were harvested and separated by Dr. Richard Fluck. The cyclopamine was the kind gift of Dr. William Gaffield (USDA).

Treated Embryos:
* Embryos were treated at 30% and 70% epiboly.

* Treated with 200 mM1solution of cyclopamine (dissolved in 95% ethanol). 0.4 mL of cyclopamine, that had previously been dissolved in 95% ethanol was added to 4.6 mL of instant ocean.

*Treated with 100 mM solution of cyclopamine, after embryos of previous treatment all died. 0.2 mL of cyclopamine dissolved in 95% ethanol was added to 4.8 mL of instant ocean.

Control Embryos:
* Treated with solution consisting of 0.4 mL of 95% ethanol and 4.6 mL of instant ocean when the 200
mM cyclopamine treatment was used.

* Treated with solution consisting of 0.2 mL of 95% ethanol and 4.8 mL of instant ocean when the 100 mM cyclopamine treatment was used.
