When mutant clones are made in the legs of female adults, slightly thickened bristles are seen, indicating a weak transformation to male.
Germ cells in the ovary that are homozygous for cos1 develop relatively normally to about stage 6 or 7 and then become necrotic.
Homozygous somatic stem cell clones in the ovary induce cause over-proliferation of follicle cells. In a few egg chambers the oocyte is not at the posterior (less than 1%), but the migration of the oocyte nucleus is always normal.
Mutant clones in the wing display extra wing veins and/or mirror image duplications.
Mutant embryos derived from germ-line clones show very little cuticular differentiation. Those that differentiate cuticle have fewer segments than normal and show an abnormal deletion-duplication phenotype in each segment, similar to that of ptc mutants. Some embryos show an anterior open phenotype. The maternal effect of cos1 is strong, is similar to that caused by "Cos" mutants and is not completely rescued by cos+ in the zygote.
cos[+]/cos1 is an enhancer of visible phenotype of Gmap29B3, Scer\GAL4sd.PU
cos[+]/cos1 is an enhancer of wing phenotype of Gmap29B3, Scer\GAL4sd.PU
cos[+]/cos1 is an enhancer of costal wing cell phenotype of Gmap29B3, Scer\GAL4sd.PU
One copy of cos1 enhances the wing phenotypes seen when Gmap29B3 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sd.PU.
Complements the viable cos alleles, unless flies are simultaneously heterozygous for "Cos" mutants.
