Chromosome Segregation of a Cell

set of images of a cell dividing incorrectly

Three successive images of a cell with low levels of Rael-Nup98 protein that is undergoing chromosome segregation. Chromosomes are in green. Arrows point to chromosomes that are being mis-segregated. The daughter cells arising from this event will have an abnormal number of chromosomes and are therefore aneuploid.
