      intermediate wing phenotype - veins L3 and L4 fused at several points; strong viability phenotype - ratio of the number of fused flies to wild type in fu/+ X fu/Y is 0.25-0.5; strong fecundity phenotype - ratio of eggs laid by fu/fu versus fu/+ sisters is 0-0.1.

      Statement
      Reference

      When in combination with Su(fu)LP heterozygotes individuals die as pupae. Adult escapers display wings, halteres and legs that have duplication of structures in the anterior compartment and shortening along the proximal-distal axis. Embryos derived from heterozygotes with Su(fu) mutants display a segment polarity phenotype: thoracic denticle belts are absent, last two rows of abdominal denticle belts are absent and a mirror image duplication of anterior rows of abdominal denticle belts.
