Nucleotide substitution: T?C.
The T to C mutation is in the GT splicing donor site of the third tup intron.
T18864391C
T?C
T to C mutation in the GT splice donor site of the third tup intron.
tup2L-57-40 mutants mostly die as first-instar larvae, but occasionally die as embryos with a dorsal hole.
Embryos derived from females carrying homozygous germ line clones have a weak tail-up phenotype.
tup[+]/tup2L-57-40 is an enhancer of thorax phenotype of ChiE
tup[+]/tup2L-57-40 is an enhancer of scutellar bristle | increased number phenotype of ChiE
tup2L-57-40 enhances the excess scutellar bristle and thoracic cleft phenotype of ChiE flies when heterozygous.
Chromosome contains a second-site mutation that fails to complement the lethality of the "l(2)k02104" line (this lethality maps far proximal to Ddc, in region 36F).
