hypomorphic allele - genetic evidence
Imprecise excision of P element in Mvl97f : one break falls in the transposon and the deletion extends proximally. The Mvl transcription unit as well as approximately 15kb of flanking sequence is deleted.
lethal - all die during embryonic stage | recessive
some die during embryonic stage | recessive
No morphological defect is evident in mutant embryos, which die late in embryogenesis.
The possibility that another, essential, gene is deleted in this allele has not been ruled out.
