amorphic allele - molecular evidence
8bp deletion within the Tet coding sequence.
majority die during P-stage (with Tet2)
majority die during P-stage (with Tetdel-CD)
short lived (with Tet2)

Most Tet1/Tet2 mutant animals die at the pupal stage. A few escapers are able to pass through the pupal stage, but die within three days post-eclosion.
