Insertion of a 2.6kb P-element.
Insertion of a full legth P-element into the second exon of the 2.5kb transcript in the same orientation as the f gene.

About of quarter of fasH/fhd flies possess at least one kinked bristle.
P{falter} is able to revert the bristle phenotype.
Extreme f phenotype affecting the macrochaetae, microchaetae and trichomes.
fhd is rescued by ftLa
fhd is rescued by f+t13
fhd is partially rescued by fsu(Hw)bs
The rate of reversion of fhd by precise excision of the P-element is higher in heterozygous flies than in hemizygous flies.
