Apc2ΔSAMP.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP does not rescue the cuticle defects of embryos derived from Apc2g10 ApcQ8 males crossed to females containing double homozygous germline clones. Apc2ΔSAMP.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP may show some dominant negative activity, as 71% embryonic lethality is seen, suggesting that the ability of paternally supplied Apc[+] and Apc2[+] to rescue embryonic lethality is compromised.
Apc2ΔSAMP.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP has some limited residual ability to rescue the cuticle defects and lethality of embryos lacking both maternal and zygotic Apc2[+] function (homozygous Apc2g10 embryos derived from Apc2g10 females). No adults are recovered.
