The morphogenesis of sperm nuclei was investigated in six different species or subspecies of the genus Xenopus (Pipidae, Anura). The sequence of nuclear morphogenesis was similar in each species used in this study. Electrophoretic comparison of the basic chromatin proteins from late spermatids and sperm of each species demonstrated that the complements of histones and spermatid-sperm-specific basic proteins were extremely diverse suggesting that shape was not determined by specific basic proteins or mechanisms of histone removal. This conclusion was reinforced by the observation that Xenopus sperm DNA decondensed by 2.0 M NaCl remained contained in residual structures which resembled intact sperm nuclei. These observations suggested that morphogenesis of sperm nuclei is directed by proteins or RNA molecules which are not directly responsible for chromatin condensation.
