Mature oocyte (MO) of B. areolata. a MO of the normal female. b Ooplasm of the MO of the imposex female. c The cortical ooplasm of the MO of the normal female. Note the exocytotic vesicles (arrows) and the outfolding of the ooplasmic membrane (arrowhead) before forming microvilli. d The periphery of the MO of the normal female showing microvilli (asterisk) and exocytotic vesicles (arrows).
