hypomorphic allele - genetic evidence
Reduction in basal level of adult adenylate cyclase. Calcium sensitive. Transheterozygote females dncM14/rut2 and dncM14/rut3 deposit eggs that lack germ cells and display discrete morphological defects.
Flies learn as well as wild-type controls. Hemizygous flies show essentially wild-type activation and inhibition of adenylate cyclase at various concentrations of calcium ions, although the basal level of adenylate cyclase activity is reduced.

Selected as: Suppressor of the sterility caused by dncM14.
Recovered as partial suppressor of the female sterility of homozygous dnc females.
