Egg polarity is the orientation of the egg. In developmental biology, all animal eggs have 2 poles
one is anterior animal pole and the other is posterior vegetal pole, these poles are connected by

Slide Content

Egg polarity is the orientation of the egg. In developmental biology, all animal eggs have 2 poles
one is anterior animal pole and the other is posterior vegetal pole, these poles are connected by
the axis of the egg. The plane that bisects the main axis at right angle is the equitorial plane.
Cytoplasmic determinants are molecules essential during oocyte matuaration in the ovary of
female and may control gene expression. These are present in the region of egg\'s cytoplasm
whcih results in included in the blastomeres.
Dorso-ventral and Antero-posterior axis are established in egg and embryo by maternal effect
genes (egg-polarity genes).
In the early embroyonic development, cytoplasmic determinants already present in unfertilised
egg encoded by mother\'s egg-polarity genes and these genes encode proteins that are existing in
the egg while still in the mother\'s ovary.
