Cell type: (ME) meiosis
Component: Nuc Div / SPB
| Characteristic | State | Code | Images |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centriole | absent | 0 | |
| Spindle pole body form, interphase-prophase | a globoid | 5 |  |
| Spindle pole body form, metaphase-anaphase | a globoid that expands by more than 100% of its interphase-prophase size directly connected to spindle | 7 | |
| Metaphase nuclear envelope | loose polar fenestrae, including extensions of nuclear envelope into the cytoplasm at the spindle pole, but mainly intact | 2 | |
