Dendrites of Nc¹¹ mutant C4da neuron clones appear normal at larval stages. However, unlike wild-type, these neurons fail to properly prune their larval dendrites during metamorphosis and most display relatively intact primary and secondary larval dendritic arbors at 18 hours after puparium formation.

Nc¹¹ homozygous embryos hatch at the normal time, but the larvae develop more slowly than wild-type. These larvae fail to pupariate, but continue to grow for some time after controls pupariate. The resulting giant larvae die at 10-12 days after wild-type larvae pupariate. Unlike wild-type larvae, these larvae are not induced to pupariate early by feeding with ecdysone at the mid-third instar.

Nc¹¹ homozygous larvae fail to exhibit cell death in the larval midgut ,as wild-type larvae do, at end of the third larval instar (assayed by Tunel staining) or in response to feeding with ecdysone at mid-third instar (assayed by acridine orange staining).

In Nc¹¹ homozygous larvae, most of the abdominal neuroblasts in segments A3-A7 that normally die during the late third instar persist.
