Polytene chromosomes normal.
Pp1-87B87Bg-6 is deficient for approximately 500bp of the 5' end of the Pp1-87B gene, consequently it lacks the translation start site.

Both Pp1-87B87Bg-1/Pp1-87B87Bg-6 and Pp1-87B87Bg-3/Pp1-87B87Bg-6 larvae show axon clumping at the lamina and laminal breaks with ~50% of R2-R5 axons being mistargeted to the medulla.
Weak suppressor levels of position effect vareigation and a high frequency of aberrant mitosis in neuroblasts or ganglion mother cells. Metaphase chromosomes and anaphase chromatids are over condensed.
Larvae die either just before or just after pupariation. Third instar larval imaginal discs are underdeveloped, indicating failure of diploid cell proliferation. Ganglia are smaller than those of wild-type larvae, with significantly fewer cells per microscope field in squash preparations, suggesting cell division is impaired in the ganglia. The proportion of cells in mitosis in the ganglia is significantly higher than in wild type. This is due to a large number of mitotic cells showing abnormalities, such as overcondensed or extra chromosomes. These cells are probably delayed in progress through mitosis. Spindle organisation is also defective, showing unusually little space between almost parallel bundles of spindle microtubules at metaphase.
