Transheterozygous combinations of gd mutations produce a range of cuticular phenotypes, ranging from cuticle only having dorsal characteristics, to cuticle having some ventral characteristics, such as ventral setal belts, depending on the alleles used. Some combinations of alleles complement each other.
The addition of wild-type gd from the paternal genome does not alter the frequency of hatching in embryos derived from gd1/gd10 transheterozygotes, indicating that the requirement for gd is strictly maternal.
Approximate order of allelic severity, from weakest to strongest is: gd5 > gd1 > gd3 > gd6 > gd2 > gd4 > gd7 = gd8 = gd9 = gd10 = gd11 = gd12.
