Inversion breakpoint disrupts the proximal promoter region.
Embryos always have abdominal segment 8. Hindgut is of intermediate size.
Anteriorly the cephalopharyngeal skeleton is normal, posteriorly the eighth abdominal denticle belt is reduced. Small increase in segment length.
Severity of the embryonic phenotype (deletion of either external structures, A8 or anal pads, or internal structures, hindgut) places tll alleles in the order: Df(3R)tll-pgx > tlll49 > tll1 > tlll29 > tll2 > tllle3.
