Abstract excerpt

The cortical pattern mutant broadened cortical domains (bcd) in Tetrahymena thermophila is unable to complete the nuclear events associated with conjugation. bcd x bcd pairs become arrested at the "nuclear exchange" configuration. Genetic analysis reveals that the bcd conjugal block is 100% penet...
