First Cleavage• Then the mitotic spindle forms, and it migrates posteriorly. • Owing to the migration, the two daughter blastomeres are produced
in different sizes after the first cleavage.

Second Cleavage• At the second cleavage, AB divides transversely and P1 divides
longitudinally. AB always divides before P1.

Conclusion
• Mutations at the four par loci lead to abnormalities, such as cleavage pattern, timing of cleavages, and partitioning of P granules.
• At terminal stage, par embryos exhibit different phenotypes of the differentiated cells, such as neuron and muscle.
![Page 46: IGCLECE](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052622/559586811a28ab0d2a8b457c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• The germ line seems also be specially sensitive to mutations in the par genes. All incompletely expressed mutations result in a grandchildless phenotype.
• The par genes function in a common process requires for proper timing and pattering of cleavages, intestinal differentiation, and P granule localization.

Continued Research
• Actin microfilament have been shown to be required for the pattern of P granule location and the proper positioning of the mitotic spindle…….
• So par genes may connect to actin…….
