This is probably a universal rule in oogenesis (cf. Fig. 22, etc.).

In the sea-urchin Strongylocentrotus, Erdmann (1909) finds that the volume of the chromosomes in the pluteus is only yV of their volume in the two-cell stage. Such considerations have led to the hypothesis of two kinds of chromatin—idiochromatin, the essential hereditary substance, or idio- plasma proper, and irophochromatin (see later under chromidia).
