k03903 embryos undergo mitosis with undercondensed chromatin. Metaphase (A–H) and anaphase (I–P) figures from wild-type and k03903 embryos. k03903 embryos have undercondensed chromatin at both metaphase (F and H) and anaphase (N and P) relative to wild type (B and D, and J and L, respectively). k03903 spindles are generally similar to those of wild type, but a range of defects is occasionally seen including kinked spindles (G). Mitotic figures are shown in pairs, with tubulin staining on the left and DAPI on the right. Bar, 5 μm.
