Eggs and Roe
摘要
Fish and many other marine animals reproduce by eggs. The eggs are formed in the ovaries, (cf. Fig. 2.1), and in addition to the germ of a new individual, an egg contains the necessary nutrients in the form of yolk and white for the development of the fetus. The yolk is in principle a single cell, where the germ is the cell nucleus, which contains the genetic material.
