phenotype: Extra hairs on scutellum, along veins, on pleurae, and on top of head. Additional hairforming cells present in 19-hr pupa (Lees and Waddington, 1942, DIS 16: 70). Interacts synergistically with pyd and Hw or Hw variegateds [e.g., In(1)sc8]; In(1)sc7 suppresses h (Steinberg, 1942, DIS 16: 68; Neel, 1941). RK1.
cytology: Placed in salivary chromosome region between 66D2 and 66E1, on basis of its inclusion in Df(3L)h100.390 = Df(3L)66D2-5;66D14-E1 (Ward and Alexander, 1957, Genetics 42: 42-54).
other information: As with ci+, expression of h+ may be altered in the direction of h by rearrangements with breaks in the vicinity of the h locus [Dubinin and Sidorov, 1934, Biol. Zh. (Moscow) 3: 307-31]. Unlike the ci case, however, rearranged h chromosomes do not show evidence of altered gene action (Stern, 1944, DIS 18: 56). Shown by both Sturtevant and Rasmussen to recombine with and lie to the right of h2.
