Description

Insertion of a 1.8kb transposon into the 5' untranslated leader of w.

(Judd, 1995)

Derivative of wzl.

      Eye colour: wild-type, in z+ males or females. Eye colour: large patches of red on yellow background, in z1 male. Eye colour: occasional red mottling, in z1 female. Eye colour: lighter yellow background as zv77h wzl male, compared with z1 wzl male.

      (Judd, 1995)

      Eye colour: wild-type, as homozygous z+ wzm female.

      (Peterson et al., 1994)

      Eye colour: variegated, as homozygous z+ wzm female.

      (Kalisch and Rasmuson, 1974)

      Eye colour: lemon yellow, in z1 wzl female at 25oC-30oC. Eye colour: yellow eyes with large red spots, as z1 wzl female at 14oC. Eye colour: yellow eyes with large red spots, as z1 wzl male at 25oC-30oC. Eye colour: red spots on yellow with salt-and-pepper mottling, as z1 wzl male at 14oC.

      Insertion of the unknown transposon is unstable and has spontaneously deleted.

      (Peterson et al., 1994)

      The change is located to the right of wa and probably also to the right of wch.
