      45% of ommatidia are mutant in Gp150k11120b/Gp1503 animals, 29% in Gp1503/Df(2R)02311. Over 60% of Gp150k11120b/Gp1503 flies fail to develop to adulthood with most of them dying during pupal development. 2/3 of the anterior scutellars in surviving adults, exhibit no shaft and no socket, 1/4 have double sockets, 3% have one shaft and two sockets and another 3% have two shafts and one socket. 45% of ommatidia are mutant in Gp150k11120b/Gp1503 animals. Developing ommatidial clusters are often irregularly spaced and the morphogenetic furrow appears broader as the cells within the region are no longer constricted in a narrow stripe. Multiple R8 precursor cells are often closely located, about 10% of ommatidia contain multiple R8 precursors that become R8 cells. Some oversized ommatidia are seen at early stages of ommatidia assembly. Some ommatidia contain additional or fewer R1/R6 cells.
      Approximately 80% of Gp1502/Gp15052A transheterozygotes survive to adulthood. Females are sterile and fail to lay eggs.
      In Gp1503/Gp1504 animals the spacing of ommatidia is abnormal and some ommatidia have fewer or more photoreceptor cells. Mutants have 'rough' eyes. When homozygous clones are made in the eye mutant ommatidia are seen. No specific photoreceptor cell type is found to be mutant at a higher proportion than the others in these clones.
