Heterozygotes are viable and fertile. Heterozygous ovaries have a number of morphological defects; there are fewer terminal filament (TF) stacks at 24 hours after ecdysis to the third instar compared to control flies. There are more TF cells/stack at 24 hours after pupariation compared to control flies and the apical cell population is reduced, leading to a spiral orientation of TF stacks. Epithelial sheath cells often remain adherent to the ovarioles at 48 hours after pupariation.
