Organ formation caused by nucleic acid from different class.--Urodele DNA mediated balancer formation in goldfish.
DNA was isolated from visceral organs of urodele and injected into fertilized eggs of goldfish. Approximately 1% of the young fish developed one balancer. From gross and microscopical structures, site of development, and nature of absorption, it resembles the balancer of urodelian species.
