Homozygous and transheterozygous males, but not females, show near random segregation of all chromosomes at meiosis I, but not meiosis II, as a result of non-disjunction. A weak dominant effect is seen in ToporsZ1837/+ males. Male fecundity is also greatly reduced, and ToporsZ1837 homozygous are essentially sterile.
Nuclear blebbing is observed in late-stage ToporsZ1837 spermatocytes, though it is variable. Blebbing is not observed in testis sheath cells, larval neuroblasts or the giant nuclei of the larval salivary gland cells.
Homozygous males are fertile, but their progeny show paternal chromosome loss (loss rate of paternal chromosome 4 is 14%). The chromosome loss occurs during spermatogenesis and is premeiotic. Primary spermatocytes have nuclei of variable sizes and nuclear fragmentation blebbing is seen.
ToporsZ1837/nbl[+] is a suppressor of wing margin phenotype of ct6
ToporsZ1837/nbl[+] is a suppressor of wing margin phenotype of ctK
ToporsZ1837/nbl[+] is a non-suppressor of wing margin phenotype of ctn
ToporsZ1837/ToporsZ1837 is a non-suppressor of wing margin phenotype of ct6
Heterozygosity, but not homozygosity, for ToporsZ1837 restores the wing margin of ct6 flies.
Heterozygosity for ToporsZ1837 only slightly suppresses the wing margin phenotype of ctK flies.
