Slides were screened for metaphase identification and chromosome analysis (chromosome count).
Thus, there may be an evolutionarily conserved asymmetry in the metaphase checkpoint, which may reveal something about its mechanism.
This 'pronucleus' condenses at first mitotic metaphase to 40 somatic chromosomes which coexist with 20 egg cell chromosomes.
A mitotic heterokaryon carries thus a unique metaphase plate composed of 20 somatic chromosomes of egg-cell origin and 20 meiotic bivalents.
First, we induced a metaphase arrest in the deep cell layer by treatment with 0.5ug/ml nocodazole.
They are then hybridized together onto prepared slides of human metaphase chromosomes, which act as indicators.
For each chromosome, a ratio value of fluorochrome intensity is generated from a minimum of five metaphase spreads.
On metaphase spreads chromosomes are usually in a single group.
