Studies on the Cytokinesis in Grasshopper Spermatocytes Treated with Hypotonic and Hypertonic Media

Abstract

The effects of hypotonic and hypertonic media on the spermatocytes of the grasshopper, Acrydium japonicum, were observed with special reference to the cytokinesis and spindle.
Changes of the cleavage pattern and spindle length were described and discussed.
