chic11/chicneo females fail to complete nurse cell dumping during oogenesis stage 13 because they are unable to form cytoplasmic actin bundles. This results in larger nurse cells and a smaller oocyte than controls.
chic11/chicneo nurse cells have normal nucleolar structure.
Fully penetrant egg chamber phenotype: nurse cells fail to deliver all their cytoplasm to the oocyte resulting in small oocytes surrounded by an egg shell. Strong allele of chic.
