The probasal body MTs (light blue) and cartwheel (red) elongate and assemble TF (green) at prophase in a UNI1 dependent manner. New daughter BBs are first detected at metaphase and contain singlet MTs and an elongated cartwheel. Doublet MTs, then triplet MTs are assembled at the distal end of the dBB at late mitosis and are oriented in the correct position for interphase (solid line). If the cell has not reached a critical size, it will quickly undergo another mitosis without an intervening interphase (dotted line).
