Figure 3. — Cytoplasmic and chromatin composition affect spindle morphology. (A) Example images of the different spindle types. Table shows differences in source of DNA and cytoplasm used to form each spindle type as well as differences in DNA content among spindle types. Image inset indicates the number of structures analyzed for each spindle type. Xla, X. laevis; Xtr, X. tropicalis. Bar, 10 µm. (B) Violin plots showing distributions for spindle length, width, eccentricity, and microtubule density, measured as median rhodamine tubulin fluorescence intensity. ***, P < 10⁻¹³ for a two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test with Bonferroni correction for multiple testing compared to X. laevis cycled spindles.
