Question
Chapter 19.2, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The way in which cytoplasmic segregation results in the polarity in a fertilized egg and its effect in the determination of cell fate.
Introduction:
The unequal cytokinesis after cell division plays an important role in signaling cascades. They are generally called cytoplasmic determinants and are found to be present in some daughter cells or cell regions, but not in all cells.
