The green alga Volvox has an unusual combination of attributes that make it unique for studying the biochemistry of embryonic development and cellular differentiation. The asexual organism consists of only 2 cell types: somatic and reproductive. About 2000-4000 somatic cells are located as a single layer on the surface of a hollow sphere (spheroid); 8-16 reproductive cells (gonidia) are positioned within the spheroid in the posterior region. ber. When the daughter spheroids are about a quarter their final size they are released from the parent through large pores formed by enzymatic disruption of the parent sheath material.A new daughter spheroid is formed from each reproductive cell in a series of cleavages. During cleavage an asymmetric division (at the stage of the 32 cell embryo) delineates 16 reproductive cells (which cease division at that time) from the somatic cell initials which continue cleavage. At the termination of cell divisions, the embryo consists of thousands of somatic cell initials and 16 larger reproductive cells [l-3]. At this time the embryo enters the process of inversion, thereby turning the embryo inside-out. This inversion process bears striking resemblances to morphogenetic events such as gastrulation in vertebrates 141. After inversion, the somatic cells begin to secrete sheath material causing each cell to move apart from its neighbours. The organism now grows in size but not cell num-
