Cell division and cell death during regression of the chick embryo Müllerian ducts.
In 9-day-old chick embryos, decreased DNA synthesis and enhanced necrosis were observed in a defined area of the right female Müllerian ducts, supporting the idea of the existence of a regression process in this organ. In the male ducts, decreased DNA synthesis and a low level of necrosis were present all over the studied portion of the organ.
