6kb deletion generated as a result of immobilising the single P-element insertion of PhKγP842 that removes the entire coding region, P-element is retained.
Homozygotes and hemizygotes survive to adulthood, the majority of adults display paralysis of one or more legs. Paralysed legs are seen when the zygotic component is completely eliminated.
There is no strict zygotic requirement of the gene product for viability. In the absence of the zygotic component the maternal component is essential for embryonic viability. The absence of the maternal component can be completely compensated for by the zygotic component.
