FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.
The frequency of mitotic figures in the mgrunspecified larval brain is higher than in wild-type. 15% of mitotic figures are polyploid and 30% are circular.
polo1 mgrunspecified double mutants show a phenotype more similar to mgrunspecified than polo1 single mutants, although the frequency of circular figures appears to be additive. aspE3 mgrunspecified double mutants show mitotic abnormalities comparable to those seen in aspE3 single mutants. Most cells are arrested in a metaphase-like state and anaphase figures are extremely rare. Polyploid cells occur at a level slightly higher than that of the sum of the single mutants, but the mitotic frequency is lowered to less than that of wild-type.
