Polytene chromosomes normal.
RFLP maps to exon common to all l(3)82Fd splice variants.
Hemizygous flies are eclosion lethals; flies assisted from their pupal cases are alive. Eye colour: brown (in hemizygotes).
Strong allele. Shows lengthy developmental delay.
Eclosion lethal. Brown eyes over deficiency.

Alleles can be ranked on the basis of the length of time taken to reach eclosion. From most delayed (10-15 days) to least delayed (1-2 days): l(3)82Fd1 ~ l(3)82Fd2 > l(3)82Fd4 > l(3)82Fd7 > l(3)82Fd5 ~ l(3)82Fd8.
