Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1904.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: In our study of biological subjects we have become familiar with cells of various shapes and sizes - both of animal and of vegetable organisms; but few, of us think of the egg of our common barnyard fowls as being merely a simple reproductive cell which may or may not have been fertilized. The egg cell of the hen with its simple nucleus remains a simple cell though its yellow yolk substance may increase to many times its original size. As soon as the egg is fertilized it assumes a different form. It then becomes the many celled yolk that we eat.The organization that has made the Item available believes that the Item is in the Public Domain under the laws of the United States, but a determination was not made as to its copyright status under the copyright laws of other countries.
