mitosis & nuclear chromosome
Cap-G6 homozygous embryos often show an altered overall shape and incomplete dorsal closure, as compared to controls. These embryos also show variable muscle pattern defects, including randomly disturbed somatic muscle pattern, malformed pharynx musculature, and missing or duplicated heart cells. Cap-G6/Cap-G64 embryos often show more severe but still variable defects, which range from embryos with reduced, mis-arranged musculature and missing or duplicated heart cells to embryos of aberrant shape without recognizable musculature.
Cap-G6/Df(2R)vg56 embryos have chromatin bridges during mitosis 15.
