KLP-9-depleted emryo displyed n norml spreding of chromosomes during lte nphse I. Imges were collected every sec nd re plyed ck t x rel time. Movie S2 Movie montge of the two rounds of meiotic chromosome segregtion in, -depleted nd KLP-9-depleted emryos co-expressing GFP-Auror B AIR-2 nd mcherry-histone-h2. The depleted emryo filed to properly orient chromosomes with respect to the spindle xis, nd insted mintined n erly prometphse-like configurtion, prior to nphse I nd II onsets.

Soon fter initil seprtion of homologous chromosomes (MI)/sister chromtids (MII), microtuules re oserved primrily etween the seprting chromosomes (left), while the kinetochores disssemle on the outside surfce of the chromosomes (center). The spindle pole mrker DHC- ccumultes close to the externl chromosome surfce prior to nphse onset, followed y inwrd movement reltive to the chromosomes tht is coupled to loss of the signl (right).
