The ultrastructure of loach embryo blastomers under the influence of zinc and cadmium ions
Keywords:
ultrastructure, blastomer division, loach embryo, heavy metal ionsAbstract
The ultrastructure of embryo cells of the loach Misgurnus fossilis L. at the stage of 2 blastomers under the influence of zinc and cadmium ions has been investigated. The influence of these heavy metal ions has resulted in significant ultrastructural changes of embryo cells, those are rarefaction of cytoplasm, disorganization of Golgy complex and mitochondria, destruction of cytoplasm and mitochondria membranes. Such changes confirm the embryotoxic influence of cadmium and zinc ions on embryo cells.
