Abstract excerpt
The product of the maternally acting gene zyg-11 is required for early embryogenesis of Caenorhabditis elegans. One-cell embryos that lack a functional zyg-11 gene product exhibit an arrest of meiosis at metaphase II, a delay in the formation of pronuclei, unusually vigorous movements of cytoplasm, the formation of multiple pronuclei, incorrect segregation of P granules, and incorrect placement of the first...
