External fertilizers have a simpler organization, show-     ing an ovoid or spherical nucleus, and a small midpiece containing only     few mitochondria, whereas species with internal fertilization have an     elongated nucleus and a relatively bigger midpiece (Lahnsteiner &amp;     Patzner, 2008; Jamie- son, 1991, 2009).</span></font><br     ]]></body>
