Fig. 8. Assembly of anastral Drosophila oocyte meiosis I spindles. The model shows seven steps that lead to anastral spindle assembly, based on observation of spindle assembly in live wild-type ncdgfp* oocytes. The blue body represents the karyosome of condensed meiotic chromosomes, or endobody, at which microtubule nucleation is initiated.
