partially lethal - majority die (with edk01102)
some die during pupal stage (with edk01102)
dorsocentral bristle | ectopic (with edk01102)
photoreceptor cell R8 | increased number (with ed4.12)
photoreceptor cell R8 | somatic clone | increased number
scutellar bristle | ectopic (with edk01102)
Twinning of R8 photoreceptor cells is seen in ed4.12/ed6.1 animals. Where wild-type and mutant tissue is juxtaposed in mosaic eye discs containing ed6.1 clones, R8 twins are often composed of one wild type and one mutant R8 cell.
ed6.1/edk01102 and edk01102/Df(2L)ed-dp flies have extra dorsocentral and scutellar bristles.
