abnormal size | third instar larval stage
decreased cell number | third instar larval stage
decreased occurrence of cell division | third instar larval stage
lethal - all die before end of P-stage | recessive
some die during P-stage | recessive
embryonic/larval optic lobe | third instar larval stage
larval brain | third instar larval stage
larval neuroblast | third instar larval stage
The optic lobes of the brain are generally small in homozygous third instar larvae, with fewer neuroblasts than wild type. Mitotic cells are rarely seen in the larval brains.
