Meanings of acentric chromosomes in English

Through live analysis, we show that acentric chromosomes induce highly localized delays in the reassembly of the nuclear envelope.

Chromosome fragments that lack centromeric DNA (structurally acentric chromosomes) are usually not inherited in mitosis and meiosis.

While I-CreI expression produces acentric chromosomes in the majority of neuronal stem cells, remarkably, it has no effect on adult survival.

This is especially consequential with inverted target sites, where exchange between oppositely oriented target sites on sisters will produce dicentric and acentric chromosomes.

Acentric chromosomes often exhibit delayed but ultimately successful segregation and incorporation into daughter nuclei.
