Polytene chromosomes normal.
Inversion of a 2kb fragment with both breakpoints within the H coding region.
The bristle loss phenotype of H20/HE31 can be suppressed by deleting components of the E(spl)-complex. The degree of suppression depends on both the number and identity of E(spl)-complex transcription units removed. Rescued bristles display a double socket phenotype. Clonal analysis revealed that the gro mutant bristle tufting phenotype is epistatic to the H null bristle loss phenotype.
Bristle loss on head and notum and double socket phenotype.
H20 is a suppressor of phenotype of Brdunspecified
Dominant suppressor of Brd: due to haploinsufficiency.
Posakony/Groger.
Strong H allele.
Phenotypic series of H alleles correlates with severity of molecular defects: in order of decreasing severity H18 = H20 > H21 > HD179.
H20/HE31 is used as the standard null genotype.
