- #Average time in minutes ± SEM
- *Average of 5 experiments that showed at least a doubling in the length of interphase for the daughter without the midzone.
- **In 3 cases, the daughter cell without spindle midzone failed to enter mitosis during the period of time-lapse recording. For these cells, the length of interphase was assumed to equal the length of observation. Therefore, this average value represents an under-estimate.
- ***Two unmanipulated cells near the manipulated cell were measured in each experiment as controls.
