Abstract:
In this study, the chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were investigated in human lymphocytes treated with spiramycin antibiotic (trade name, rovamycin). Spiramycin did not induce the CAs and SCEs, and also did not decrease the mitotic index (MI). However, spiramycin decreased the replication index (RI) only at 48 h treatment times.

Meiosis II
Meiosis II entails cell division and segregation of the sister chromatids, resulting in the production of four unique haploid gametes. The steps for meiosis II are similar to mitosis, except that meiosis II occurs in haploid cells, whereas mitosis occurs in diploid cells.
The timing and cell division patterns of meiosis differ between males and females. In male meiosis, the centrosomes are part of the formation of the meiotic spindle. However, in oocytes, including that of humans, Drosophila,...

Separation of Sister Chromatids
At the transition from prophase to metaphase, there is a reduction in cohesion along the chromosomal arms, resulting in the resolution of sister chromatids. However, residual cohesin connections remain to hold the sister chromatids together until the transition from metaphase to anaphase. The residual connection prevents any premature separation of sister chromatids, blocking the risks of aneuploidy within the daughter cells.
