Mitosis in Euglena. A, elongation of the nucleocentrosome, radial arrangement of the 

 chromosomes, B^ further elongation of nucleocentrosome ; pennate arrangement 

 of chromosomes. C, chromosomes arranged in a ring round the dumb-bell-shaped 

 nucleocentrosome. D and E^ the chromosomes split and their halves travel in 

 opposite directions. F, final stage of mitosis. G, reconstitution of the daughter
