Abstract
In the last few years, due to the advances made in biochemistry, electron microscopy, and cytochemistry, a functional approach to the solution of a number of problems regarding the biology of development has become possible. One of these problems is the development of the organization of the mature egg. It is impossible to solve this problem without a knowledge of the mechanisms involved in the enormous growth of oocytes, which is linked with the accumulation in them of a large quantity of ribosomes and yolk intended for the future embryo.
“...The formation of the ovum is not just the prelude to development, but is development itself, and a very responsible part of it at that — when the very foundations of the promorphological organization of the egg are laid, the very architectural plan of the future individual...”
