metathoracic leg | ectopic (with ash122)
wing sensillum | ectopic (with ash122)
ash121/ash122 transheterozygotes show a homeotic phenotype, with haltere towards wing and third leg towards second leg transformations, as well as partial transformation of abdominal segments 6 and 5 towards segments 5 and 4, which is visible from the partial loss of pigmentation on tergites 5 and 6 and appearance of bristles on sternite 6.
ash121/ash122 adults show homeotic transformation: transformation of the third thoracic segment (T3) to second thoracic segment (T2), including partial transformation of haltere to wing, characterized by the appearance of bristles on the haltere, appearance of hypopleural bristles on T3, and the third leg to second leg transformation manifested by the appearance of apical and pre-apical bristles on the third leg; transformation of posterior abdominal segments to more anterior fate, visible by the partial loss of pigmentation in tergites 5.
ash122/ash121 has metathoracic leg phenotype, non-suppressible by NSDds46/NSDds46
ash122/ash121 has adult abdominal segment 5 phenotype, non-suppressible by NSDds46/NSDds46
ash122/ash121 has adult abdominal segment 6 phenotype, non-suppressible by NSDds46/NSDds46
ash122/ash121 has adult abdominal segment 4 phenotype, non-suppressible by NSDds46/NSDds46
Range of lethality for transheterozygotes extends from the third larval instar for the most severe alleles to the pharate adult stage for the least severe alleles.
