Fig. 6. Duration (minutes) of prometaphase and metaphase in mitotic domains of
easthop-1 (n=68 divisions) and control
(n=43 divisions) germline clones. Note that the maxima in
distribution of controls and mutants are close together. However, although
control cells show a symmetric distribution, mutant cells display a more
skewed pattern, reflecting a greater variability in the duration of chromosome
congression.
