Micronuclei formation pathways. (a) The clastogenic effect promotes chromosome fragmentation. (b) The aneugenic effect impedes a whole chromosome to attach to the spindle fibers. The micronuclei result from these (a) fragments and/or (b) lagging chromosomes at the telophase end. Figure 1 was created using the Photoshop CC version 2019.
