Stage 12 odd⁵ embryos exhibit a mirro-image duplication of the wg expression domain and a concurrent replication of SOP cells within and adjacent to this ectopic domain.

Homozygous mutant clones in the leg can cause fusions between tarsal segments t1-t5.

The maxillary lobe is fused with a reduced labial lobe in mutant embryos.

Pattern defects in the anterior region of odd-numbered segments leading to the deletion of denticle belts A1, A3, A5 and A7. The overall muscle pattern is severely disturbed. The number of apodeme rows ventrally and laterally is reduced by half and their spatial distribution is irregular.

Does not interact with RpII140^wimp maternal effect.

Strong allele. Odd-numbered denticle belts are deleted or reduced to one or two duplicated anterior rows in homozygous larvae. The phenotype of eve¹ odd⁵ double homozygotes at 29^oC is not an additive effect of the two mutations; the double mutant has 7 or 8 partial denticle belts, each with an apparent polarity reversal. The phenotype of odd⁵ prd¹⁰ double homozygotes is more limited than simple additivity of the two phenotypes. The odd⁵ phenotype is largely suppressed by en⁵⁷ in double homozygotes.

Odd numbered denticle bands missing.

Partial deletion of odd denticle bands.
