Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila microtubule motor protein, nonclaret disjunctional (ncd), is required for proper chromosome distribution in meiosis and mitosis. We have examined the meiotic and mitotic divisions in wild-type Drosophila oocytes and early embryos, and the effects of three ncd mutants (cand, ncd and...
