Fig. 5. swi1-2 mutation suppresses the dif1-1 chromosome
fragmentation phenotype. (A) Metaphase I in a wild-type male meiocyte. Five
bivalents are observed. (B) dif1-1 meiocyte exhibiting chromosome
fragmentation. (C) swi1-2 meiocyte at the end of prophase. Twenty
chromatids are observed. (D,E) swi1-2/dif1-1 double mutant meiocytes.
(D) Sister chromatid cohesion is lost at the end of prophase I. (E) The
resulting 20 free chromatids at metaphase I. (F) Some cells contained 10
condensed univalents. Scale bar: 10 µm.
