This deletion removes a single ribosomal protein-coding gene (though other genes are also removed).
Breakpoint(s) molecularly mapped
Dominant scutellar bristle phenotype is increased in trans to Df(3L)A27 to around 48%.
Flies heterozygous for the deletion do not show a Minute bristle phenotype.
The Df(3L)th102 chromosome does not act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion).
Does not cause unconditional lethality in hybrid females when heterozygous with D.simulans chromosome.
Dominantly causes tergite defects in less than 50% of run3 heterozygotes.
Adults heterozygous for Df(3L)brm11 or Df(3L)th102 have a high frequency of duplications of the anterior scutellar bristles (around 24%).
Heterozygosity for this deletion has no effect on the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.
Heterozygotes for Df(3L)th102 and Df(2L)JK12 have thin bristles and weakly outstretched wings.
"72A2;72E12" was stated as revision.
Used in D.melanogaster/D.simulans hybrids to map at least four non-overlapping regions on the D.simulans 3R that have effects on the species difference of cuticular hydrocarbon profile.
"71F3--71F5;72D12" was stated as revision.
Reduces the expression of homeotic genes.
Ashburner et al., 1980, D. I. S. 55: 193 reports cytology as 72B1 to 72D12, from cytological analysis it is thought the chromosome is deficient for 72A as well.
