An anaphase bridge may be produced in a variety of ways. 8, it results from breaks that occur late in the cell cycle (in G2), after the chromosomes have replicated. Breaks may occur in both chromatids of the same chromosome, and the sticky ends may rejoin incorrectly to form a sister union. 8. The two fragments may join as shown, but because there is no centromere the joined fragments will probably be lost at the first mitosis. This type of aberration occurs in human cells and is essentially always lethal.

There also is a fragment that has no centromere (acentric fragment). 6A. 7A shows a normal metaphase for comparison. 6B. A break is induced by radiation in each arm of a single chromatid early in the cell cycle. The sticky ends may rejoin to form a ring and a fragment. Later in the cycle, during the DNA synthetic phase, the chromosome replicates. 6B. The fragment has no centromere and probably will be lost at mitosis because it will not be pulled to either pole of the cell. B. 6. , Gi) chromosomes.
