Abstract excerpt
Regulated changes in the cell cycle underlie many aspects of growth and differentiation. Prior to meiosis, germ cell cycles in many organisms become accelerated, synchronized, and modified to lack cytokinesis. These changes cause cysts of interconnected germ cells to form that typically contain 2(n) cells. In Drosophila, developing germ cells during this period contain a distinctive organelle, the fusome, that is...
