Fig. 4. Chromatin bridging in mcph1 embryos. Syncytial embryos were squashed and the DNA stained. (A) Representative late anaphase-to-telophase figures (images shown at same magnification). DNA bridging and increased pole-to-pole distances are seen in squashes of mcph1^Z1861/mcph1^Z0978 and mnk mcph1^Z1861 embryos. Bars, 10 µm. (B) Quantification of DNA bridging in mcph1^Z1861/mcph1^Z0978 and mnk mcph1^Z1861 embryo squashes. Wild-type and mnk embryos served as controls.
