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 ncdD) on spindle structure and chromosome movement. The ncd mutants cause abnormalities in spindle structure early in...
