Movie showing two fertilized eggs undergoing meiosis

Organism : Ascidian
Species : Phallusia mammillata
Description : The egg on the left is a control egg that extrudes two PBs and forms two PN that migrate towards each other to join in the sperm aster region. On the right is a Ch-Mos::Rfp1-expressing egg extruding two PBs, but no PN can be seen even in the sperm aster region (seen towards the end of the movie). Some pictures of this sequence have been used in Fig. 4A. Total time: 80 minutes.
Publication : Mos limits the number of meiotic divisions in urochordate eggs
