Polytene chromosomes normal.
Salivary-gland chromosomes normal.
Bristles markedly shortened; bristles are sharply tapered at the tip. Heterozygotes are fully viable and fertile.
Heterozygotes with Bsb+ are viable and fertile. Bristles markedly shortened; sharply tapered at tip resembling sharpened pencil under compound microscope. Excellent cell marker.
Bsb1, Priunspecified has visible | dominant phenotype
Bsb1, Priunspecified has macrochaeta phenotype
Heterozygotes with Prunspecified exhibit bristles reduced to very short stubs.
