Temperature-shift analysis of the cuticle phenotype of embryos derived from females carrying didum¹⁵⁴ clones indicates that the temperature sensitive period for didum occurs during stages 7-10A.

Many females developed at 18[o]C from homozygous female germline clones have no ovaries and some have only one ovary.

Most embryos derived from homozygous female germline clones induced during the L1/L2 stages have no abdomen, with only approximately 10% of the embryos hatching. If the homozygous female germline clones are induced during the L3 stage, the phenotype is less severe, with approximately 70% of the resulting embryos hatching, and most of the remainder having no abdomen.

Oocytes derived from homozygous female germline clones do not show premature cytoplasmic streaming.

Embryos derived from females carrying homozygous germ line clones have variable posterior defects and short Filzkorper, and lack pole cells. Variable head defects are seen. Few embryos hatch.
