Fig. 3. — A reliable oocyte spindle scaling model. A. Spindle scaling by cytoplasmic size is explained with a cytoplasmic factor scaling model. B and C. In the cytoplasmic factor scaling model, doubled after spindle removal, oocytes should form normal-sized spindles, however, actually slightly large-sized spindles were formed. Spindle volume was determined at late metaphase (n = 92, 39, and 32 oocytes). Boxes show the 25^th–75^th percentiles and whiskers the 10^th–90^th percentiles. Two-tailed, unpaired Student’s t-tests were performed. ** P < 0.01. *** P < 0.001. Scale bars, 5 µm. D. Cytoplasm/Spindle ratio model.
