Pronunciation
[edit]How do you pronounce this?!? 71.225.47.199 (talk) 23:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I heard that in Mitosis and Meiosis-II (where sister chromatids rather than homologs are separated), the correct attachment of microtubules to the kinetochors is termed "amphitelic", whereas in Meiosis-I it is called "bi-oriented". Other abnormal orientations are "monotelic", "syntelic" and mono-oriented (a.k.a. co-oriented). Monotelic means that one single kinetochor is pulled to either side (torn apart), syntelic means that two sister chromatids are pulled to one side and mono-oriented means that both sister chromatid pairs (that is, the whole bivalent) is pulled to one side. But I don't have any citations, no time for search, sorry Ryu (talk) 21:23, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
Replace picture?
[edit]The first picture shown in the article only gives us little dots. We can’t even see up close what it looks like. In my opinion, it does not give a good enough image, and if seen improperly, may actually be misleading. I’d say we replace the picture with a better one.
