(C) Representative time-lapse images of spindles and chromosomes in MII oocytes treated with either DMSO (n = 20) or nocodazole (n = 15) at 2 h post- insemination. Note that both male (white arrow) and female (yellow arrow) DNA undergo decondensation in DMSO-treated oocytes, whereas only female DNA can be seen to decondense following nocodazole treatment. Time is hh:mm post-anaphase-onset. Scale bar, 10 mm. (D and E) FRET ratios of a Cdk1 biosensor normalized to 100% at the time of insemination and sizes of the H2B-RFP signals for male and female DNA following treatment with either DMSO (n = 13, D) or nocodazole (n = 11, E) at 2 h post-insemination. FRET ratios at the time of insemination ranged from 0.77 to 0.81. Data are mean ± SEM. Results are representative of at least three independent experiments.
