Like Humpty Dumpty

But, like humpty dumpty, the fragmented DNA puts itself back together again . This is the transformation that sets apart the process of chromatin fractionation in differentiation from the process of chromatin fractionation in apoptosis. It suggests that the fragmentation of DNA does not always end in cell death.

Fig. 9 Example of predome containing a regular array of dense material. Varying densities suggest that this photomicrograph represents the beginning of reassociating chromatin filaments.

Fig. 10. This dense very unusual structure is another example of fragmented DNA reassociating after karyorrhexis. This is an image bearing little resemblance to the typical ovoid nucleus. The underlying reality of reassociating chromatin may be represented in Fig. 11.
