(After Brauer.) number of the chromosomes in the first division, and isusually arranged in tetrads, or groups of four rounded,deeply staining bodies connected by linin fibers. These tetradsare always one half the number of the original rod- or thread-like chromosomes. Thus in Fig. 155, A represents a sperma-togonium nucleus of Ascaris with the four chromosomes,showing the longit
