Figure 6. Mitotic drive in D. melanogaster GSCs:
Mechanisms of the mitotic drive. (A) Stronger centromeres build larger kinetochores that bind more microtubules compared with weaker centromeres. (B) Sister chromatids with asymmetric histone epigenome in male GSCs. A temporal asymmetry of microtubules activity, NEBD, and CENP-A epigenetic asymmetry tightly coordinate to ensure non-random segregation.
