amorphic allele - genetic evidence
Insertion of a defective P-element into the protein coding region.
P element in exon 1
lethal - all die before end of pupal stage | recessive
some die during pupal stage | recessive
Ovaries from homozygous larvae transplanted into female sterile host larvae generate defective egg chambers.

awdb3 is rescued by awd+t3.4
Lethality can be fully rescued by awd+t3.4.
Dearolf, 1983.
Used to reduce dosage of awd product: that this had no effect on lethality of hopTum argues that the effect of awdK acts through its neomorphic function.
