See Fig. 1 for examples of different chromatin configurations.

FC, fibrillar chromatin; ICC, intermediate condensed chromatin; CC, condensed chromatin; GV, germinal vesicle; MI, metaphase I; AI/TI, anaphase I/telophase I; MII, metaphase II; Deg., degeneration.

Differences among percentages containing the different superscripted letters (a, b) are significant (p < 0.05).
