Of the eggs laid by sqd1/sqdK12 transheterozygotes, around 50 % exhibit some degree of dorsalisation: the least affected have widely spaced dorsal appendage and an enlarged operculum; intermediately affected have a single broad appendage that spans at least the width of the normal appendages; severely affected (<5%) have a crown of appendage material that surrounds the anterior circumference of the egg. Nurse cell chromosome morphology is normal in sqdK12 homozygotes.
Weak dorsalization of egg shell. Dorsal appendages are enlarged in 46% of eggs and ventrally fused in 54% of eggs. 9% of eggs contain embryos, which are dorsalized anteriorly and in half the cases have reduced filzkorper indicating weak posteriorly ventralization.
Embryos laid by hemizygous mothers are partially dorsalised. Heterozygotes with sqd1 are wild type with only a few dorsalised embryos.

Dorsalisation of the eggs laid by sqd1/sqdK12 transheterozygotes is enhanced by Hrb27C10280/Hrb27Ck16203, so that >98% show some degree of dorsalisation, and by Hrb27C10280/Hrb27Ck10413, so that 100% show some degree of dorsalisation. In sqd1/sqdK12; Hrb27C10280/Hrb27Ck10413 and sqd1/sqdK12; Hrb27C10280/Hrb27Ck16203 females, nurse cell chromosomes fail to disperse after stage 6, but instead arrest in the blob like conformation typical at stage 6 of oogenesis.
