Abstract
Pairing of males and females from single-sex infections results in the multiplication and differentiation of undifferentiated cells of the vitelline lobule culminating in the production of mature vitelline cells involved in egg shell formation. These changes are accompanied by increases in the rate of uptake of tyrosine, thymidine, and an increased accumulation of calcium.Keywords
