Imprecise excision of the P{PZ}ox1 element, resulting in a deletion of genomic sequences, including part of ox.
cell lethal | recessive | somatic clone
lethal | recessive
oocyte | germline clone
Homozygous clones are not recovered in the eye, indicating that ox is required for cell viability. Females containing homozygous germ-line clones lay no eggs. Oocyte development is arrested before the onset of vitellogenesis in these females.
ox107-2 is rescued by oxhs.PF
