Fig 6. SMC-5/6 complex and HIM-6 are important for controlling chromosome structure during meiosis.

A. Analysis of distribution of condensin on chromosomes of wild type and various indicated mutants. The condensin II complex was visualized with HCP-6 antibody. Scale bars: 2 μm. B. Mutation of brc-1 partially rescued the progeny lethality caused by hcp-6 RNAi. The progeny viability (%) data are represented as averages of three independent experiments and error bars represent standard deviation. The sample size (n) indicates the total number of embryos examined for each genotype. Asterisks indicate statistical significance as determined by two-tailed Student T-test. P Values below 0.05 were consider significant, where p < 0.05 was indicated with *, p < 0.01 with ** and p < 0.005 with ***.
