Summary

Incorporation of3H-uridine was studied during pachytene and diplotene stages of quail oocytes. No labelling could be detected during early pachytene. During advanced and late pachytene, labelling simultaneously appeared on the macrochromosomes and on certain michromosomes in the zone where they emerge from the chromocentric surface periphery. The latter localization corresponds to the region of ribosomal RNA synthesis. At diplotene the same localizations were labelled with a considerably increased intensity.
