Abstract excerpt
Zinc ions, present since fertilization, will arrest embryos of the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla at the hatched blastula stage, but such embryos lack long cilia, the usual characteristic of animalized embryos. Eventually these embryos will express a minimal long cilia phenotype, with a mean pop...
