Summary of chromosomal movements detected in this study. The nuclei are between 3 and 6 μm in diameter. Some of the movements bring together a chromosome tip and pericentric heterochromatin, which at certain times are located at opposite poles of the nucleus. Therefore, the scale of these movements could exceed 3 μm. Circles represent interphase nuclei. Black lines indicate heterochromatin, and gray lines indicate various euchromatic arms.
