Fig. 3. Distribution of lengths of mother and daughter centrioles from sevelen and Cdk1^ts wing discs incubated at 30°C for 2 days. The x-axis is centriole length (measured in nm) and the y-axis is the number of centrioles at any given length. Note that the distribution of daughter centrioles from wild-type discs varies between 46 and 93 nm, while the corresponding distribution from ts discs varies between 46 and 162 nm. The wider distribution of daughter centriole lengths in ts discs is reflected in the higher average: 114 nm compared with 70 nm in wild-type. The distribution of mother centrioles from ts discs is also broader than wild-type (105 to 184 nm in ts discs compared with 93 to 139 nm in wild-type). The average mother centriole length in ts discs is 134 nm compared with 115 nm in wild-type.
