When including pictures that illustrate your findings, clearly indicate which pictures show the experimental and control conditions. Use arrows to identify specific points of interest within the pictures. Examples (Wang et al. 2013) Figure 2 The three distinct processes—motility, polarity, and directional sensing—that coordinate to bring about directed migration toward the chemoattractant gradient ( yellow). The region…
