      0.1 kb insert in -1.9 to -1.2 same insert present in parental chromosome; coordinates according to Roiha, Rubin and O'Hare (1988)
       
      Insertion of 0.1kb DNA, at coordinates -1.9 to -1.2.
      The 0.1kb insertion between -1.2 and -1.9 (coordinates as in FBrf0048245) is present in the parental In(1)dl-49 chromosome and is a polymorphism rather than the cause of the mutant phenotype.

      Statement
      Reference
      class 1 - female sterile with gnarled macrochaetae and kinky microchaetae
       
      snX2/snMR39B1 flies are sterile.
      Extreme bristle phenotype, female sterile.
      Extreme bristle phenotype.
      Repression potential of a P-element repressor protein in a singed sterility assay of snw/snX2 heterozygotes shows partial correspondence with gonadal dysgenic sterility in that strong repression of gonadal dysgenic sterility shows some effect in the singed sterility assay.
      Bristles are gnarled due to disrupted actin filament bundles. Nurse cell cytoplasmic actin filaments are absent.
      Does not show premature cytoplasmic streaming in stage 8 egg chambers.
      Mutation causes a severe denticle phenotype. Denticles tend to be smaller and have thinner hooks than wild-type denticles. They are also less orderly along each row and sometimes have a floppy appearance. Some hairs are shorter and thicker than normal.
      Homozygous females produce sterile eggs. Ring canal morphology in the egg chambers of homozygous females ranges from nearly wild-type to very disorganised. The nurse cell nuclei of late stage follicles are lobed and almost wild-type in morphology. Individual lobes of these nuclei are seen to block the ring canals in these follicles.
      Strong bristle phenotype.
      Apoptotic nuclei are seen in snX2 egg chambers, although the pattern of apoptosis appears somewhat different to wild-type.
      Tiny bundles of actin appear near the plasma membrane at the tip of elongating snX2 bristles, as in the wild-type. These bundles aggregate into ribbon-shaped aggregations of filaments adjacent to the plasma membrane.
      Homozygous egg chambers contain short actin bundles compared to wild-type.
