Heterozygotes have eye defects. Homozygous embryos have segmentation defects.
Weak segmentation phenotype. The Malpighian tubule phenotype is variable in homozygous embryos. In most embryos the Malpighian tubules are shorter than normal (the posterior tubules are longer than the anterior tubules), with irregular buds. Sometimes there are short thickened buds. The ureter is more or less normal.
Segments T2 through A3 are deleted in homozygous embryos.
Weak allele. Segments T2, T3, A1, A2 and A3 are deleted.
weak allele segments T2 and 3 and A1 deleted; A2-4 variably deleted; Malpighian tubules variable
