Such a centrosome forms an independent centre of divi- sion, the cell dividing into three parts, two of which are normal blastomeres, while the third contains only the centrosome and attrac- tion-sphere. The fate of such eggs was not determined, but they form a complete demonstration that it is in this case the centrosome and not the nucleus that determines the centres of division in the cell-body. Scarcely less conclusive is the case of dis^grmic eggs in sea-urchins. In such eggs both sperm-nuclei conjugate with the egg- nucleus, and both sperm-centrosomes divide (Fig. 166). The cleavage-nucleus, therefore, arises by the union of tJiree nuclei and foiir centrosomes. Such eggs divide at the first cleavage into four equal blastomeres, each of which receives one of the centrosomes. 1 Cf. p.
