Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Drosophila genes pimples and three rows result in a defect of sister chromatid separation during mitosis. As a consequence, cytokinesis is also defective. However, cell cycle progression including the mitotic degradation of cyclins A and B is not blocked by the failure of sister chromatid separation, and as a result, metaphase chromosomes with twice the normal number of chromosome arms still...
