Abstract
During oogenesis in many animals there is a massive extrachromosomal synthesis of the genes for ribosomal RNA. In Dytiscid beetles, as in the toad Xenopus, the amplified ribosomal DNA occurs as circular molecules of different sizes. The circles fall into size classes that are integral multiples of a unit circle. It is probable that the unit circle contains the coding sequence for one precursor ribosomal RNA molecule plus accompanying spacer sequences.
