If, as is generally assumed, the heritable qualities of the organism are local- ised in the chromosomes—as so-called genes—mitosis dearly provides a mechanism by means of which these qualities are transmitted unchanged each somatic division. The fact that new individuals produced by veg« tative propagation (Chapter XIII) exactly resemble the parent plant bears out this conclusion. Meiosis. The formation of tetraspores (such as pollen-grains, spon a t Pteridoph and Bryophytes, tetraspores of Rhodophyceae, ascospores and basidiospon involves two divisions of the nucleus accompanied by one division of the chromosomes; as a result, the chromosome number is halved. Mine four tetraspores are produced from each spore mother cell, the whole proa is often described as a Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bower, F.
