Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion. Internal sequences of the insertion have been removed, leaving the P-element ends and flanking genomic sequence intact.
93% of homozygous pupae show a marked reduction of muscle histolysis in the abdomen. The thorax is shifted anteriorly in 35% of mutant pupae. 27% of mutant animals reach the pharate adult stage. The temporary dorsal internal oblique muscles of the abdomen are either absent or show morphological defects in 93% of these pharate adults.
Chro109c has A1-7 dorsal acute muscle cell | pharate adult stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by easthop-7/east[+]
