174bp deletion of the 3' half of RpII15: deletion of the entire second putative finger domain.
deletion of 174bp
lethal | recessive
some die during second instar larval stage
capitellum
No obvious structural abnormalities. Lethality commences during the second larval instar. RpII15Z23/RpII15V transheterozygote survival is dependent on temperature: flies reared at 18oC never produce viable adults, at 25oC few survive to adulthood.
Dominant partial transformation of capitellum to wing even in the presence of two wild type copies of Ubx+. Effect is not enhanced by RpII140 alleles.
