RpII215106/RpII215106 females with a duplication for RpII215+ display about 50% normal viability and are fertile when crossed to wild type, but nearly sterile in crosses to RpII215Ubl males with a duplication for RpII215+; all surviving progeny of the latter cross display a hyperabdominal-like phenotype; the females lack metathoracic legs and/or halteres in addition to having extra abdominal tissue; this phenotype barely detectable in offspring of crosses to normal males.
Hyperabdominal-like phenotype.
The recessive lethality of RpII215106 is not rescued by one copy of RpII140S1, RpII140S2, RpII140S5, RpII140S6, RpII140S8, RpII140S7, RpII140S11 or RpII140S12.
