Abstract
Cells in a wild population of a species belonging to the diatom genus Mastogloia may form frustules of 2 strikingly different morphologic types during their vegetative life cycle. Total conversion from coarsely structured morphologic form to a more finely structured form takes place during a single division; hence no intergradations between the 2 forms are evident. Intact frustules with 1 valve of each type leave no reasonable doubt of the ability to make the change.Keywords
