Fig. 6. During mitosis the flagella and basal bodies are displaced by the migrating nuclei and become associated with the spindle poles. (A) TEM of a metaphase mitotic cell shows that the caudal flagella (cfl) are displaced following nuclear migration. Bar, 1 µm. (B) Interphase; arrow marks position of basal bodies of anterior flagella. (C) Early prophase; arrow marks position of basal bodies, located at the periphery of the migrating nuclei. (D) Metaphase; the anterior flagella is wrapped around the dorsal nucleus, and the basal body is associated with the right spindle pole. Median body marked by asterisk. Bar, 2 µm.
