The rate of loss of homozygous wcd3 germline stem cell clones (GSCs) in the ovary as females age is much more pronounced than the rate of loss of wild-type GSCs as females age.
Homozygous ventral nerve cord neuroblast clones produce fewer ganglion cells than wild-type neuroblast clones. The mutant neuroblasts are on average half the size of wild-type neuroblasts.
