Shows a Dynein AID; bmk-1(syb3914) oocyte expressing GFP::tubulin and GFP::histone following klp-18(RNAi) dissected into Meiosis Medium containing 100 μM auxin to deplete dynein. Without functional BMK-1, formation of miniature bipolar anaphases does not occur after the breakdown of the monopolar spindle. Corresponds to Figure 6D. Phenotypes are consistent across all oocytes filmed (n = 3). Time elapsed shown in min:s. Scale bar = 5 μm.
