Summary
The observation that the number of centrioles in the centrosome of a yeast cell correspond to the degree of ploidy supportsHarper's view that the centriole is a constant, stable, essential cell structure. The implications of this view on the function of the centriole and the integrity of the spindle fiber will be considered in subsequent communications.
Besides the centriole, four other types of granules appearing in the yeast cell are described and distinguished from the central body. These are the lipolated mitochondria, the vesicular mitochondria, the intermediate form of mitochondrion and the small granules.
