Mitochondrial DNA synthesis in overmatured eggs of the starfish.
DNA synthesis was studied during the overmaturational stage of starfish eggs. Some DNA synthesis took place in the overmature eggs of the starfish. The DNA synthesis was resistant to aphidicolin. Judging from its circularity and small molecular size, the DNA synthesized is of mitochondrial origin.
