A phenotype of a population that is the death of a significant proportion of animals in that population during the first instar larval stage.

some die during immature adult stage [FBcv_0002051]

A phenotype of a population that is the death of some significant number of animals in that population as immature adults (after eclosion but before the end of adult stage A3 (FBdv:00006012)).

some die during larval stage [FBcv_0002023]

A phenotype of a population that is the death of a significant proportion of animals in that population during the larval stage.

some die during P-stage [FBcv_0002020]

A phenotype of a population that is the death of a significant proportion of animals in that population during the P-stage.

some die during pharate adult stage [FBcv_0002038]

A phenotype of a population that is the death of a significant proportion of animals in that population during the pharate adult stage.

some die during prepupal stage [FBcv_0002040]

A phenotype of a population that is the death of a significant proportion of animals in that population during the prepupal stage.

some die during pupal stage [FBcv_0002039]

A phenotype of a population that is the death of a significant proportion of animals in that population during the pupal stage.

some die during second instar larval stage [FBcv_0002022]

A phenotype of a population that is the death of a significant proportion of animals in that population during the second instar larval stage.

some die during third instar larval stage [FBcv_0002024]

A phenotype of a population that is the death of a significant proportion of animals in that population during the third instar larval stage.

sterile [FBcv_0000364]

A phenotype that is the inability to produce fertilized eggs as a result of mating. The cause of sterility may be physical or behavioral. Note, this term should not be used with the qualifier ‘partially’. Use semi-sterile or semi-fertile instead.

suppressor of variegation [FBcv_0000381]

Genotype g1 is a suppressor of variegation if, and only if, some genotype g2 has a variegated phenotype and the degree of variegation caused by g1g2 is less than that caused by to g2 alone. Typically, g2 is a chromosomal aberration or an insertion.

terminal phenotype [FBcv_0000734]

Embryonic/larval segmentation phenotype that is the complete or partial loss of terminal regions of the embryo/larva: the acron, telson and immediately adjacent segments.

transcriptional cell cluster [FBcv_0009003]

A result that represents a population of cells sharing a similar transcriptional profile.

uncoordinated [FBcv_0000416]

Phenotype that is abnormal co-ordination of motor activity.

viable [FBcv_0000349]

A phenotype that is survival to mature adulthood, where mature is defined as after adult stage A3 (FBdv:00006012). Note, this term should not be used with the qualifier ‘partially’. Use semi-viable or semi-lethal instead.

visible [FBcv_0000354]

A post-embryonic, macroscopic, anatomical phenotype.

wild-type [FBcv_0000348]

The canonical phenotype of a wild-type Drosophilid.
