Migration of"female pronuclei in normal (a) and binudeate (b) eggs on activation at 26°C, as indicated by decrease in the distance (ordinates) between pronuclei and the centers of the eggs. Stars in (b) mark fused nuclei. Data in Figures 4 and 6 are derived from a single batch. Note that the migration starts later and is slower than that observed in fertilized eggs (cf. Fig. 4)..

Figure 7. A pair of partial nuclei in activated eggs treated with 1 5 min after activation. Numerals indicate the time after activation. Both nuclei remained separated, but their nuclear envelopes still broke down (40 mm) and reformed (79 min). 26°C. Scale bar = 25 tiple nuclei. Thanks to the natural transparency of Cly- pcustcr eggs, we can easily detect, with a low power mi- croscope, batches of eggs including those with partial nu- clei. Using eggs with partial nuclei may give us some insights into the process of nuclear migration and nuclear fusion in echinoderm eggs. Literature Cited Boveri, I. 1918.
