Abstract

ABSTRACT The belief that nuclei arose by exogeny, without relation to pre-existent nuclei, was due mostly to Schleiden (1838).

Many early workers thought that the ordinary nuclei of many-celled plants and animals multiplied by division (Bagge, 1841 ; Nageli, 1844; von Baer, 1846), or by the disappearance of the old nucleus and its immediate replacement by two new ones (Nageli, 1841 ; Reichert, 1846). The history of the discovery of mitosis falls into three parts.
