  • X body

  • Autosome

  • Y chromosome

  • Nucleolus

X body

Henking (1896), while working on Squash Bug (Pyrrocoris) and other insects traced a nuclear structure all through the spermatogenesis and observed that 50% of the sperms received this structure and other 50% did not. Henking called it X-body but could not explain its significance.
