Abstract
In sheep-fetuses of the age of 92 (615 +/- 49 g body weight) and of 12 0 days (1843 +/- 406 g body weight) as well as in newborn lambs (2815 +/- 648 g body weight) the content of DNA, RNA and protein per g wet w eight in 14 tissues and in the fetal and the maternal portion of the p lacenta was analysed. A calculation of the development of the total co ntent of DNA, RNA and protein in the different organs is given. The ch anges of the wet-weight: DNA-, the protein: DNA- and the RNA: DNA-rati o in the tissues during growth are described. The significance of thes e changes is discussed.
