title: Connecting cords and morphogenetic movements in the quail blastoderm.
abstract: Connecting cords are elongated telophase bridges persisting between separating daughter cells. We have studied them with Scanning Electron Microscopy in the upper cell layer of the quail blastoderm where a high mitotic activity accompanied by interkinetic nuclear migration coincides with morphogenetic movements. The predominant orientation of the connecting cords is parallel to the direction of the morphogenetic movements.
