(19) The residual small rRNAs in [poky] appear to be synthesized via the upstream promoter(s), but are missing 37-44 nucleotides from their 5' ends, indicating either that pre-rRNAs are processed abnormally or that abnormal 5' RNA ends are unstable.
(20) The ribosomal defect shows an extrachromosomal pattern of inheritance in crosses of poky with wild type.
Tarantula
Definition:
