Generated by X-ray induction of a Y;2 translocation between the Y chromosome and CyO, l(2)DTS5131 (a dominant temperature sensitive lethal allele).
Can be used to construct "virginator" stocks since Cy males carry temperature-sensitive lethal (FBrf0026034). When males are mated to wildtype females at room temperature, most male progeny have curly wings and most female progeny have wildtype (straight) wings. When progeny are reared from eggs at 30 degrees C, straight-winged female progeny live, but most if not all T(Y;2)CyO male progeny die. Any surviving straight-winged male progeny, which arise from nondisjunctional gametes, are sterile because they lack a Y chromosome.
