The most common nuclear type in prophase stage embryos expressing cnnS22A.T27A.PA.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 in a cnnHK21/Df(2R)cnn mutant genetic background appears to be haploid with most nuclei located at the cortex, but deep divisions are still observed in less than 5% of animals. Polar body formation or persistent meiotic-like spindle is not detected in the mutant embryos. Development fails well before cellularization in the transgenic animals.
The number of adults that develop to adulthood represents only 14% of eggs laid by cnnmfs3 mutant females that also express cnnS22A.T27A.PA.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16.
