Lethality acts in the late larval or early pupal period. Homozygous female escapers are sterile and have rudimentary ovaries with no oocytes beyond stage 7. Antennae are swollen and the aristae are short with fewer branches than wild type. Male pharate adults have extra sex comb teeth on the second tarsal segment of the prothoracic leg, the first tarsal segment of the mesothoracic leg and occasionally on the first tarsal segment of the metathoracic leg. A rare ectopic sex comb tooth is found on the second tarsal segment of the mesothoracic leg. These are evidence of a proximal to distal transformation.
Hemizygous and homozygous germline clone cells are viable.
Semilethal, survivors exhibit reduced aristae with the third antennal segment blunt and rounded, male prothoracic leg has a second sex comb on the fourth tarsal segment, males have reduced fertility.
Semilethality occurs during larval, pupal and adult stages. Some third instar larvae are inviable, those that survive to puparium formation hatch imagos. Mosaic analysis demonstrates mutant phenotype is non-autonomous. Surviving males have reduced aristae and the third antennal segment is blunt and rounded. Males have an additional sex comb on the second tarsal segment of the prothoracic leg. Males have reduced fertility. Ovaries are rudimentary with no oocytes more advanced that stage 7.

The formation of ectopic wing veins observed in adult flies expressing Marcal1Scer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU is exacerbated by combination with a single copy of crm7.
Transheterozygotes of Pc3 with crm7 die as pharate adults, with second and third legs completely transformed towards the first. Ectopic sex comb teeth are found on the second tarsal segment of all legs. Flies transheterozygous for crm7 and mus209B1 show a strong enhancement of both the proximal to distal and posterior to anterior crm mutant phenotypes. Complete sex combs are present on the first tarsal segments of all legs.
