Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

A subset of Acf2/Acf2 mutant egg chambers display cell packaging defects.

The proper polar organisation of chromatin is still observed in many blastoderm nuclei of homozygous Acf12 mutants, however, the mutants show a higher degree of variability of nuclear organisation than wild-type.

About 60% of the expected progeny survive. Those that do are fertile and phenotypically normal.

The combination of Df(3L)Pc heterozygotes and Acf12 leads to a stronger extra sex combs phenotype than seen in Df(3L)Pc alone. 61% (compared to 18% in controls) of males have extra sex combs on the second and/or third pairs of legs. The combination of Df(3L)Pc heterozygotes and Acf12 leads to a stronger extra sex combs phenotype than seen in Df(3L)Pc alone. 58% (compared to 18% in controls) of males have extra sex combs on the second and/or third pairs of legs. In addition over half of males exhibit ectopic pigmentation of their A3 and A4 abdominal tergites.
