Abstract excerpt
The morphology of chromatin in spontaneously ovulated rat's oocytes was investigated. The degree of chromatin condensation was shown to vary widely: along with the typical cytological picture of metaphase II, both highly condensed (clamped) and decondensed ("not typical") forms of chromosomes were observed. A direct relation was discovered between the prevalence of the not typical morphological forms of oocyte...
