Oogenesis inAcanthosentis oligospinus n.sp., an aganthocephalan parasite of the fish,Macrones gulio

1. The morphology of the oocyte and distribution of the nucleic acids

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The morphology of the ovarian ball with its constituent oocytes ofAcanthosentis oligospinus n.sp., has been studied. The distribution of RNA materials in growing oocytes suggests their origin in the nucleolus. Based on the sequential distribution of RNA granules, a classification of growing oocytes has been attempted.
