La sterilita degli esemplarl ex-scissipari de Dugesia (Euplanaria) gonocephala Duges dipende dal gamete fomminile.
Boll di Zool 12:143-148

Abstract / Notes

Some asexual specimens of D. gonocephala can reach sexual maturity and become perfectly fecund in the [male]
line, sterile in the [female] line. The reasons for this [female] sterility are unknown. By crossing
formerly
asexual and normal planarians, some agamic specimens were obtained. The asexual reproduction is considered
as
a mendelian character.
