Point mutation.
Point mutation in the structural portion of w.
Fails to respond to E(wa).
Eye colour: orange-brown.
Eye colour: orange; darker in male. Malpighian tubule colour: colourless.
wa2 has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by Dp(2;2)Pdup-3/+
wa2 has abnormal eye color phenotype, suppressible | partially by Df(2R)Pdel-1/+
wa2 has abnormal eye color phenotype, suppressible | partially by Pcf11EMS2/Inr-a[+]
wa2 has abnormal eye color | recessive phenotype, suppressible by Low1
wa2 has eye phenotype, enhanceable by Dp(2;2)Pdup-3/+
wa2 has eye phenotype, suppressible | partially by Df(2R)Pdel-1/+
wa2 has pigment cell phenotype, suppressible by RpLP001544
wa2 has pigment cell phenotype, suppressible by Low1
The addition of Inr-aEMS2/+ or Df(2R)Pdel-1/+ darkens the eye colour of wa2 flies.
The addition of Dp(2;2)Pdup-3/+ lightens the eye colour of wa2 flies.
Bridges, 1929.
Shows no interaction with "Msu" mutations.
mle4 has no effect on the dosage compensation of we, wapl, wF4-2, wa2, Dp(1;1)w+61e19 or wi.
The alkylating agent ENU at high concentration, but not MMS or EMS, induces a significant increase in the frequency of somatic revertant sectors in the eye in wa2 flies.
