SummaryPart IThe unsegmented egg ofAcris grillus or Rana pipiens subjected to a centrifugal force = 2771 × gravity is separated into three layers: a yellow fatty centripetal layer, a translucent protoplasmic middle layer, and a heavy yolk centrifugal layer colored by the black pigment granules. By cytological and microchemical methods it was found that the centripetal layer was mostly fat, the middle layer mostly hyaloplasm and cytolymph (besides containing the nucleus or spindle) and the heavy… CONTINUE READING
