Most hemizygotes do not pupariate, remaining as second or third instar larvae up to 8 or 9 days after egg laying. A few hemizygotes do pupariate 8 to 11 days after egg laying, and these pupae generally develop into pharate adults that do not eclose. These pharate adults show a complete lack of differentiated cuticle on the abdomen, and have reduced cuticle formation on the thorax and head.
strong allele in which second and third instar larvae persist until days eight and nine; few survive to pharate-adult stage with incomplete sclerotization.
