Abstract excerpt

Conjugation fails postzygotically after mating of Tetrahymena cells that have wild-type parental macronuclei but harbor noncomplementing nullisomic parental germline deficiencies. Failures begin shortly after formation of the new macronuclear precursor (anlage) and completion of the first step in...
