Summary of retardance area analysis on birefringent kinetochore fibers in cold-recovering spermatocytes.

Bivalent type	Sister kinetochore pairs	Average number of microtubules per sister kinetochore pair	Average disparity between kinetochore fibers from the same bivalent to opposite poles
Disyntelic (n = 22)	Syntelic	66 ± 19 (n = 44)	17%
Amphisyntelic and monodisyntelic with merotely (n = 9)	Syntelic	62 ± 26 (n = 9)
	Amphitelic and syntelic with merotely	84 ± 37 (n = 9)	70% for all amphisyntelic and monodisyntelic with merotely
