Polytene chromosomes normal.
7% of cutletclI14/Df(2L)ed1 animals are viable. The penetrance of the female sterile and rough eye phenotypes in these flies is 100%. The penetrance of the wing phenotype is 25%.
Visible phenotype when heterozygous with Df(2L)ed1, rough eyes, scalloped trailing and notched end wing margin.
Heterozygotes with fors express an intermediate larval foraging, behavioural phenotype.
