Volvox
What is Volvox? The name comes from the Latin volvere, to roll, and ox, as in atrox, fierce. Volvox is a spherical multicellular green alga, which contains many small biflagellate somatic cells and a few large, non-motile reproductive cells called gonidia, and swims with a characteristic rolling motion. Ever since van Leeuwenhoek first viewed these algal ‘fierce rollers’ with utter fascination ...
متن کاملControl of differentiation in volvox carteri: a model explaining pattern formation during embryogenesis.
The green flagellate J’olvox is a simple muhicellular organism having only two kinds of cells, somatic and reproductive. The cells are arranged on the periphery of a spheroid. Asexual individu~s of I’olvox carten’ are composed of 2000-4000 somatic cells and about 16 large reproductive cells (gonidia), located in the posterior region of the spheroid. Mature asexual spheroids show a very regular ...
متن کاملDifferentiation in Volvox carteri: Study of Pattern Variation of Reproductive Cells
Volvox carteri, Differentiation, Embryogenesis, Cell Lineages, Pattern Formation Asexual spheroids of the multicellular green alga Volvox are composed of two types of cells: non-flagellated reproductive gonidia and Chlamydomonas-\ike flagellated somatic cells. They are committed by a differentiating cleavage during embryogenesis. The gonidia of the adult spheroids form a symmetrical pattern con...
متن کاملDifferentiation of reproductive structures and experimental sex change in Volvox (Chlorophyta, Volvocaceae)
This paper represents a brief review on current topics in both asexual and sexual reproduction of Volvox L., a green colonial freshwater alga, which is a valuable model of contemporary developmental biology of plants. In the case of asexual life cycle, the main attention is paid to published data on the mechanisms of differentiation into reproductive and somatic cells of Volvox carteri f. nagar...
متن کاملSexual Induction in Volvox Carteri
The study of the dependence of reactions on the concentration of various compounds is often of great value in determining reaction mechanisms . In chemical kinetics, it is often found that, according to van't Hoff's rule, the order of dependence of a reaction on the concentration of some compound involved in that reaction is equal to the number of molecules of the compound involved in each reac...
