decreased cell number | somatic clone | third instar larval stage
lethal | recessive
larval brain | somatic clone | third instar larval stage
Lethality occurs before the wandering third larval instar stage in homozygotes.
Homozygous clones in the third larval instar brain are small, typically containing one or a few cells.
The "ML72" chromosome fails to complement both the l(3)CMV45 and the l(3)F582 complementation groups.
