Statement
Reference
Homozygous cp309s2172 flies are viable, but exhibit a severe `uncoordinated' phenotype and die shortly after eclosion because they immediately get stuck in the food. The size and distribution of centrioles in wild-type and cp309s2172 mutant interphase larval brain cells is indistinguishable. The same is true for testes cells. cp309s2172 brain cells do not exhibit a higher mitotic index than control cells. Heterozygous cp309s2172/+ flies have normal responses to a standard sound stimulus from electrodes placed in the antenna and head, while most (16/26) homozygous cp309s2172 flies have no sound-evoked responses, and the amplitude of the response is also greatly reduced in those cp309s2172 flies that do respond. In cp309s2172/+ heterozygous antennae, the ciliary outer segments of the mechanosensory chordotonal neurons in the second antennal segment and of the chemosensory neurons in the third antennal segment are clearly visible. By contrast, in cp309s2172 homozygous mutant antennae the sensory cilia in both the chordotonal organs and the olfactory bristles are absent or severely shortened and kinked, and the chordotonal cilia of the second segment fail to attach to the cuticle that connects the second and third antennal segments. In cp309s2172 mutant testes, morphologically normal primary spermatocytes are formed that each contain two pairs of large, orthogonally arranged centrioles. However, as the spermatocytes mature, the centrioles often lose their orthogonal arrangement and partially fragment. cp309s2172 mutant spermatocytes often form multipolar meiosis I spindles, with each spindle pole organised by at least one centriole. Although meiosis is highly abnormal in cp309s2172 mutant spermatocytes, at least some cells develop into relatively normal looking sperm. However, the distribution of centrioles and nuclei in the cysts is often disorganised. Moreover, although the cp309s2172 mutant sperm contain flagella, these are often nonmotile, even though electron microscopy reveals the sperm tails to be structurally normal.
Germline clones produce eggs with patterning defects: heads are open.

Separable from: a lethal mutation on the chromosome. The original "l(3)s2172" chromosome is homozygous lethal, but is viable over a deficiency that removes cp309, indicating that the P{lacW}cp309s2172 insertion in cp309 is viable and that there is a separate lethality on the chromosome.
