    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    When l(2)gl4w3 clones are made on the notum, large tumours are seen along with disruptions of junctions between epithelial cells. Within these clones, external sensory organs appear malformed containing additional external cells. Most (84%) mutant external sensory organs consist of three sockets and one hair. Clusters of four sockets are also present at a lower (12%) frequency. Both internal cells are seen to be missing most (96%) of the time.

    When clones are induced in the wing with the result that the mutant patches affect both wing surfaces wing veins are lost. When the clone only covers one surface of the wing vein differentiation is unaffected. In either case, clones in intervein regions are wild type.

    Follicle cell clones show epithelial defects.
