The products of division migrate until they take up positions opposite each other with the nucleus be- tween them. The so-called astral rays normally develop during the time of this migration. What connection these bodies have in the formation of the functional spindle is by no means clear despite many years of study. Proponents of the many versions of the centrosomal theory of spindle organization have been somewhat embarrassed by the finding that no such apparatus can be located in the cells of higher plants and that, furthermore, its existence is doubtful in many animal cells. In plant cells generally, and in many animal cells where there is no ap- parent centrosomal apparatus, no organized spindle is obvious until MECHANICS AND PHYSIOLOGY OF CELL DIVISION / 141.
