Unequal cell division from 8 to 16-cell stage.
| Organism | : | Ascidian |
|---|---|---|
| Species | : | Phallusia mammillata |
| Description | : | Bright-field images of 8-cell stage Phallusia mammillata embryo viewed from the vegetal side from interphase until cell division. The two vegetal posterior blastomeres that divide unequally (B4.1 pair) are at the bottom. Following nuclear envelope breakdown it is possible to discern the movement of the mitotic spindle in the two bottom blastomeres. Time in min:sec. |
