Example Sentences:
(1) Thus, in the lethal mutants those parts of the body are affected for which independent viable mutations have been previously described in the omb locus, such as optomotor-blind, bifid, and Quadroon.
(2) The gene has previously been mapped in chromomeres 4C5-6, together with three other genes, bifid, Quadroon and lacqueredgls.
(3) In addition they have only rudimentary wings as well as a Quadroon-like abdominal pigmentation.
(4) In its distal part the omb gene overlaps in at least 19 kb with four other complementation units, bifid, l(1)bifid, Quadroon and lacqueredgls.
(5) Mutations in l(1)omb also fail to complement viable mutations of three seemingly unrelated functions in this region: bifid (bi), manifesting defective wings, Quadroon (Qd), a semi-dominant mutation expressing abnormal tergite pigmentation, and In(1)ombH31, giving rise to a normal external morphology but with discrete defects in the optic lobes and behavior.
