a

Values represent the percentage of each mitotic phase or classified phenotype over the total number of mitotic cells. The cells at 4 d after dsRNA treatment were immunostained and counted under a microscope (more than 100 mitotic cells per sample). Errors represent SD from two independent experiments.

b

Abnormal mitotic cells were classified into four phenotypes (Fig. 10 E).
