Chromosome in combination with In(3R)Na shows the presence of 87A puff and the absence of 87C puff after heat shock.
The distal half of the salivary gland turns but the proximal half does not in embryos homozygous for Df(3R)kar-Sz12 by stage 14.
Homozygotes show 100% prepupal lethality, with less than 1% of the animals surviving to the third instar larval stage. Mutant larvae have normal behaviour and gross morphology by light microscopy, except for a tendency towards slightly swollen bodies and increased "bursting" when cuticles are initially penetrated for dissection (suggesting increased hemolymph pressure or weaker body walls than normal). The mutant larvae have relatively normal neuromuscular anatomy by light microscopic examination.
Df(3R)kar-Sz12/Df(3R)E229 are male sterile.
