Error generation and correction mechanisms. (A) Numbers of four types of attachments in the biased hybrid searches with 46 dynamic chromosomes (red bars, no correction; blue, amphitelic attachments are secured from further captures; green, chromosomes rotate within 10 sec of the first capture). (B) Geometric configurations conducive of the syntelic and amphitelic attachments. Additional attachment (dashed green line) from the distal pole would turn the syntelic attachment into the merotelic one. (C) Schematic illustration of the chromosome rotation after the first capture. (D) Number of the amphitelic attachments as a function of the rotation duration.
