Supplementary Movie 6. Failed rotation of second meiotic spindle giving two second polar bodies

Organism : Ascidian
Species : Phallusia mammillata
Description : Unfertilized eggs were injected with a mixture of Ens::3GFP and Kif2::mCherry mRNA and left overnight to translate protein products then fertilized. Bright field, Ens::3GFP (green), Kif2::mCherry (red) and overlay are shown. The second meiotic spindle fails to rotate and two outpockets form above both sets of chromosomes following Ana II (labelled with Kif2::mCherry : see 24-31 min.). Note that Kif2::mCherry labels the midbody formed during PB1 emission (11min. through 36 min.). Scale bar = 40µm.
