Above, in equatorial view ; below, seen from the vegetative pole; left, before fertilisation; right, after fertilisation. The unfertilised egg possesses a single main axis (polarity) at fertilisation, bilaterality is established through the formation of the grey cresecent in or close to the future mid-dorsal line.
