mus305D1/mus305D2 mutants have a similar frequency of single-strand annealing repair (SSA) compared to controls in a P{wIw.FRT} hemizygous assay to study DNA double-stranded break repair when assayed at 32oC or 38oC.
Hypersensitive to methyl methanesulfonate. Not sensitive to 0.008% HN2. Homozygous females show an increased frequency of chromosome loss.
male-sterile
mus305D2/mus305D3 has no effect on the frequency of X-Y chromosome nondisjunction seen in Df(1)X-1-53B males, but shows a significant enhancement of meiotic drive in these flies compared to controls.
