Scope and Contents

Contents

The size of a typical eukaryotic cell is on the order of ≈10 μm. However, some cell types grow to very large sizes, including oocytes (immature eggs) of organisms from humans to starfish. For example, oocytes of the frog
X. laevis
grow to a diameter ≥1 mm. They contain a correspondingly large nucleus (germinal vesicle, GV) of ≈450 μm in diame...
