phenotype: Wings reduced by marginal excision both anteriorly and posteriorly. Extremely variable and overlaps wild type. Expression and interaction studied by Goldschmidt and Gardner (1942, Univ. Calif. (Berkeley) Publ. Zool. 49: 103-24). Almost entirely suppressed by H. In combination with many different Minutes, causes incomplete development of anal and genital imaginal discs in males and less frequently in females (Goldschmidt, 1948, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S. 34: 245-52; Sturtevant, 1949, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S. 35: 311-13). Homozygous lethal. RK2 as lethal, RK3 as dominant.
