Using a new technique to visualize the tracks of moving 3T3 [mouse fibroblast] cells and combining it with the visualization of actin-containing microfilament bundles by indirect immunofluorescence, experiments are presented which suggest that 30-40% of the pairs of daughter 3T3 mouse fibroblasts in noncloned cultures have mirror symmetrical actin-bundle patterns. The angle between separating daughter cells is .apprx. 90.degree. or 180.degree. and seems related to the directions of certain actin-containing bundles. Approximately 40% of separately moving daughter cells which did not collide with any other cell in the culture performed directional changes in a mirror symmetrical way. Both daughter cells entered the next mitosis at approximately the same time. The actin-bundle pattern, the angle of separation, major directional changes during interphase and the time of the next mitosis may be predetermined by the parental cell.
