The pregastrula stage mammalian conceptus consists of both embryonic and non-embryonic components. The latter forms the bulk of the tissues, provides nutrition for the developing embryo and also contributes developmental signals that influence events within the embryo itself.

The identification of the sex chromosomes in the three extant species of Prototherian mammals (the monotremes) is complicated by their involvement in a multivalent translocation chain at the first division of male meiosis. The platypus X chromosome, identified by the presence of two copies in female
A digital cranial endocast of the Miocene platypus Obdurodon dicksoni was extracted from highresolution X-ray computed tomography scans. This endocast represents the oldest from an unequivocal member of either extant monotreme lineage and is therefore important for inferring character support for Mo
