Polytene chromosomes normal.
Amino acid replacement: P701H.
Nucleotide substitution: C2102A.
The mutant allele contains the nucleotide polymorphism C2102A, which results in a P701H protein polymorphism (coordinates of the lesion are the position in the 2-μ-4a spliced form of pb).
macrochaeta & prementum
The labial palp is transformed to antenna at 22oC and prothoracic leg at 29oC.
Transformation of labial palps to antenna or leg identity and an increase in number of bristles on the prementum.
18oC --> leg 29oC --> antenna
Wakimoto.
Behaves as a hypomorph at 22oC and an amorph at 29oC.
