Examples

“In by far the majority of animals it seems tolerably clear that the process of chondriokinesis or distribution of the mitochondria (or chondriosomes) between the daughter-cells is haphazard, and not in any way comparable to the process of karyokinesis.”

“These phenomena emphasize the conclusion of Bowen (1920) that chondriokinesis and dictyokinesis involve a relation between the cytoplasmic formed bodies and the division-centers that means more than a merely fortuitous association.”

“Such behavior of mitochondria is so typical that it has been described in the earlier literature as chondriokinesis.”
