 | | (b) Ootid The cell characterized by the presence of the male and female pronuclei is termed an ootid (figs, l and 1-2). |
 | | The cytoplasm of the ootid has a diameter of about 100 μm (Hamilton, 1946; Noyes et al., 1965); each of the pronuclei measures about 30 μm (Zamboni et al., 1966). |
 | | Although "in most mammalian species, the male pronucleus has been reported to be larger than the female pronucleus," the converse has been found in one human specimen and, in two others, the pronuclei appeared to be of equal size (Zamboni, 1971). |
