Abstract excerpt
Conjugant pairs of Tetrahymena thermophila were mechanically separated by vigorous pipetting at the early stages of meiotic prophase. The complete sequence of conjugational nuclear events including the appearance of pronuclei, development of the new macronuclei (postzygotic development), and resorption of the old macronuclei was observed in the separated cells, without pronuclear exchange. The pronuclei in the...
