Figure 9. Multiphoton movies of GFP::histone in a wild-type embryo (A-H) and in a moderate gamma-tubulin(RNAi) embryo (I-P). Elapsed time from the first frame is shown in minutes:seconds. (A, B, I, and J) Meeting, centering, and rotation of the pronuclei and prophase chromosome condensation. (C and K) Breakdown of the nuclear envelopes. (D and L) Metaphase. Tight alignment of chromosomes is shown on the metaphase plate in a wild-type embryo (D) versus loose alignment in the gamma-tubulin(RNAi) embryo (L). (E and M) Early anaphase. (F and N) Late anaphase. (G, H, O, and P) Telophase. Note the poor segregation of chromosomes in the gamma-tubulin(RNAi) embryo (N-P). Cytokinesis occurred in the wild-type embryo (H) but not in the RNAi embryo (P).
