Artificial parthenogenesis in Asterias. (Buchner, , 1911.) A, telophase of second maturation division. The second polar body nucleus, instead of being thrust out of the egg, remains close to the egg nucleus. B, the egg and second polar body nuclei have come into contact. Achromatic figure developing. C, the two nuclei have fused. , first polar body. two polar bodies, as if they had been properly fertilized. The haploid egg nucleus then proceeds to divide as in Echinoids, and a haploid embryo results. In Asterias, on the other hand (Buchner, 1911), while the first maturation division is carried through normally and the first polar body is cut off, the second division only proceeds normally as far as telophase. Instead of the outer telophase group being extruded from the surface of the egg in the second polar body, it is retained within the egg and there forms a nucleus lying close to the inner group or egg nucleus (Fig. 44). The egg and second polar nuclei now approach each other again and fuse precisely as if the latter were the male gamete nucleus. Thus the diploid number of chromosomes is restored. The resemblance between this process and the rarer method of maturation of the partheno- genetic egg of Artemia described by Brauer (p. 90) is striking.
