Chapter 50, Problem 5TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
An amphibian egg cell has its yolk concentrated in the vegetal half of the cell. This half has a pale yellow color. The dark-colored region is the animal half, which is yolk-free cytoplasm of the cell. This color is provided by the pigment granules present below the surface.
