No multistrandedness in mitotic chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster.

abstract：:In this work we have used the inhibitor of F-actin polymerisation cytochalasin B (Cyt B) to test the hypothesis that the contractile ring and the central spindle are mutually interdependent structures in mammalian mitotic cells. Double fluorescence staining of alpha-tubulin and F-actin was employed to analyse anaphase...
